What We're Building

As a clinician at Amae, you are not adjacent to this work. You are essential to it.
  • A national care delivery model for the highest-acuity patients in behavioral health.
  • Precision medicine for SMI. Individualized treatment informed by multimodal clinical, behavioral, and social data.
  • A clinical operating system that puts longitudinal data, real-time patient signals, and purpose-built tools into a single decision layer for care teams.
  • Frontier science and measurement: defining and validating the outcomes frameworks that this field has never had. Hospitalizations avoided, days stable, functional improvement, and more.
  • A collaboration model with the country's leading health systems that proves coordinated SMI care can work at scale.

What We Value
  • We center care in all we do. Empathy is not a brand value. It's how we make clinical decisions, build products, and treat each other.
  • We challenge convention. The existing system is the problem. We question it, we test alternatives, and we move with urgency when something works.
  • We take the work seriously, not ourselves. High standards and humanity are not in tension. We hold a hard bar for quality while leaving room for humor and levity.
  • Your job isn't done until the job is done. We close gaps, we follow through, and we don't hide behind titles or org charts.
  • We win together and fail together. We own outcomes as a team. We learn fast. We don't do blame.
  • We hustle with humility. Speed matters. So does integrity. We assume best intent and stay grounded in the mission.
