About Us


Osmind is a technology, services, and data company focused exclusively on psychiatry. Mental health disorders are one of the leading causes of death worldwide and are tied to shortening lifespans.

Now, there is a growing movement among clinicians, patients, and researchers to close the gap between this scientific innovation and better real-world care.At Osmnid, we serve a network of 800+ independent psychiatry practices across 49 states.

We help these clinics effectively provide high-quality care, scale as businesses, and contribute to research with our purpose-built EHR, software solutions, clinician community, and managed services.
