Verathy Technology

Psychiatrist located in McLean, VA offering Telehealth Visits in Maryland, Virginia & DC

Verathy supports the development and application of technology solutions for mental health services.

Verathy is a pioneer in applying technology to help solve two major problems found in behavioral therapy treatment today – the subjective nature of behavioral therapy and the inability of therapists to accurately read the facial expressions and observe the body language of patients over telehealth platforms. Verathy addresses these problems by analyzing the facial emotions of both the provider and patient during their session together, and then producing quantifiably scored reports that give insights to the provider for use in future treatment planning. These observations expedite the building of the therapeutic alliance and shorten the duration of therapy. Verathy also supports cross referencing of patient demographics, diagnoses, and provider’s skills/success rates to match patients with the best providers that optimize treatment outcomes.

Verathy’s technology advancements are covered by two issued U.S. patents US11568979B1 and US11791034B2, and applications in Canada CA3040724A and the European Union EP3557479A1
