The personal story behind SageSurfer
Our founders realized through tragedy that mental healthcare is broken and demoralizing. SageSurfer was born when Anupam experienced the heartbreak of losing a loved one to suicide. Watching his family struggle and succumb to mental illness motivated him to help patients and caregivers navigate our highly-fragmented and inefficient healthcare system.
Leveraging healthcare technology expertise, Anupam assembled a team driven by their own personal stories to universally improve the care experience of everyone involved. SageSurfer is purpose-built to offer patients and providers comprehensive AI-powered tools to improve patient engagement, treatment adherence, and workforce retention.
“If something like this existed when my loved one was having issues with mental health, his story might have continued…”
