"Looking around that room, I couldn't help but be impressed by what One Mind had built with this accelerator. In just four years they've created what I'm very comfortable naming the world's best mental health accelerator."
— Steve Duke, The Hemingway Report
We are humbled and honored by this recognition. What started as a bold vision has grown into something truly special, and it only exists because of the founders, partners, mentors, and advocates who show up every single day for this community and for the people mental health innovation is meant to serve.
This is what happens when the right people come together around the right mission.

Congratulations to Motif Neurotech on receiving FDA approval to begin a feasibility trial for their brain implant for treatment-resistant depression!
@motifneuro was part of the 2023 One Mind Accelerator cohort, and watching them reach this milestone is exactly why we do this work. Founded by @JTRobinsonLab, the team has pioneered a remarkable approach: a blueberry-sized device implanted in the skull that delivers targeted brain stimulation, activated simply by wearing a hat. It's the kind of innovation that sounds like science fiction until it isn't.
Treatment-resistant depression affects millions of people who have exhausted conventional options. Motif is working to change that, and today, they're one important step closer.

Our paper is now published in @NatMentHealth.
What began as curiosity in med school became a field I later named: metabolic psychiatry. 15+ years later, it's defining a new category of care.
@LabsMetabolism is translating this into patient care.

MEET THE 2026 COHORT: Vitalic Health
Vitalic Health is a senior-focused behavioral health solution that provides Medicare Advantage plans & at-risk providers with much-needed engagement & access to geriatric-informed clinical behavioral healthcare for members with polychronic conditions & untreated behavioral health issues.
Data has shown for years that untreated behavioral health exacerbates the costs associated with managing these members as they are 3x more expensive than members without behavioral conditions, and a Medicare Advantage plan’s existing network lacks the ability to outreach & engage these members proactively.
Vitalic’s model of care is an 8-12 week episode of care provided virtually by a multidisciplinary team consisting of a consulting geriatric psychiatrist, nurse practitioner, mid-level therapist and coach. In addition to improving the member’s behavioral health scores & member satisfaction, Vitalic’s promise to the Medicare Advantage plan/at-risk provider is to also show clear reduction in unnecessary utilization of services including emergency department visits & inpatient stays.

Exciting to see one of our 2026 One Mind Accelerator companies, Vitalic Health, recognized for its innovation and impact.
Through its collaboration with VNS Health, Vitalic is helping expand access to geriatric behavioral health care, reaching seniors who are often underserved due to stigma or lack of diagnosis. By combining proactive outreach with specialized, team-based care, this model is not only improving mental health outcomes, but also reducing unnecessary emergency room visits among older adults.
This kind of innovation, bridging gaps in access, addressing unmet needs, and improving whole-person care, is exactly what the One Mind Accelerator is designed to support.
We’re proud to have Vitalic in our 2026 cohort and to see their work gaining well-deserved attention.

MEET THE 2026 COHORT: @OrbitNeuro
Orbit is building the most sophisticated models of cognitive states and conditions, enabling precision mental healthcare. State of the art diagnostic and efficacy metrics in mental health all rely on episodic, subjective self reporting, introducing noise, recall bias, and muddled variables in clinical trials and early stage research.
Little to no progress has been made around biomarker development due to hardware bottlenecks. High-resolution imaging methods (e.g. fMRI, PET, ECoG, MEG) are unscalable and scalable methods (e.g. EEG) are low resolution and noisy.
Orbit is collecting unprecedentedly rich neural data-sets, enabled by their novel brain wearable which can achieve fMRI-comparable resolution at scale. This proprietary data collection moat will fuel Orbit’s foundation models.
The founding team boasts executives from @BlackrockNeuro_, Fitbit (@MadeByGoogle), & senior staff from @Meta AR Glasses, @Google & @livanova. Orbit is backed by founders & executives from @huggingface, @StabilityAI, @Apple, @Microsoft & @Dropbox.

MEET THE 2026 COHORT: Nosis Health
@NosisHealth is a digital health company reimagining substance use care as whole-person, long-term health—not short-term crisis management.
Traditional treatment focuses on stopping use, often ignoring the biological disruption substance use causes to the brain and body, from metabolism and hormones to sleep, inflammation, & cognition. When biology is overlooked, recovery rests on a fragile foundation.
Nosis treats substance use disorder as a chronic condition affecting both mind and body, delivering individualized, longitudinal care that combines addiction medicine, advanced diagnostics, therapy, coaching, & personalized lifestyle interventions. The model addresses the biological & psychological drivers of use together & adapts as members progress.
The goal isn’t just sobriety—it’s cognitive clarity, physical resilience, reduced long-term disease risk, & renewed capacity to fully engage in life. Substance use affects the whole person. Care should too.

MEET THE 2026 COHORT: Neurofundus
Neurofundus is building a foundation model for precision psychiatry, powered by deep multimodal patient biology & generative AI.
Psychiatric medicine is at a breaking point, affecting over 1.2 billion people globally and costing more than $5 trillion each year. Patients often endure years of trial-and-error treatment, limited therapeutic options, and little biological guidance—constraints that have also slowed the development of new psychiatric drugs.
Neurofundus is partnering with @amsterdamumc to access a longitudinal cohort of 3000 patients suffering from major depressive disorder and bipolar disorder to generate trillions of molecular observations across thousands of patients.
This will fuel an expert foundation model to subtype disease, optimize treatment, and accelerate drug discovery. From a GPT-like chat for physicians and researchers to API-driven platforms for pharma, research institutes, and biotech, Neurofundus is ushering in the era of precision psychiatry at scale.
