The Silent Crisis: A Growing Gap in Behavioral Health
The demand for mental health services is soaring, yet the supply of clinicians is rapidly dwindling, creating a crisis that could leave a 4.5 million clinician gap by 2030. Mental health professionals, already stretched thin, are drowning in administrative tasks, with only half their time devoted to patient care. Outdated Electronic Health Records (EHRs) compound the problem, adding burdensome workflows that contribute to clinician burnout and turnover rates as high as 40%. In some cases, a simple 5-minute call can require 25 minutes of documentation, highlighting the urgent need for smarter solutions.
This inefficiency has left clinicians overwhelmed and unable to focus on patient care, underscoring the importance of finding solutions that not only alleviate administrative burdens, but also ensure that patients receive the focused, quality care they deserve.
The Untapped Opportunity: Enter Eleos
While AI innovation in acute care has driven fierce competition, behavioral health has largely been overlooked. Behavioral health has unique workflows and technological needs that differ significantly from those of acute care, leaving incumbent EHR providers struggling to adapt their AI functionality to this specialized field.
Eleos is poised to change this landscape, harnessing cutting-edge generative AI to transform behavioral health conversations into automated scribing and actionable insights that drive better care, efficiency, and decision-making across the clinical workflow.
Eleos is setting a new standard in the industry with deep, behavioral health-specific integrations workflows, and AI models fine-tuned for the nuances of mental healthcare. With more than 120 customer organizations across over 30 states, Eleos is the most-deployed AI platform in behavioral health today. Their solution has already proven its worth, reducing documentation times by over 50% and driving significant efficiency gains for clinicians while allowing them to focus on what matters most—patient care.

Eleos goes beyond just offering a solution—it’s embedding itself into the heart of behavioral health care. Positioned as a central AI platform between providers and EHRs, Eleos uses a simple browser extension to interface with a proprietary AI core, automating cumbersome EHR workflows and turning complex documentation into a streamlined process.
