Founded in 2015, Kip connects users with qualified therapists and arms them with the tools to track observations, feedback, and outcomes about their mental health journey. By combining therapy with a mobile app that allows patients to engage with resources and maintain commitments, Kip has created a unique shared infrastructure to help therapists and patients track mental health progress over time and create more personalized mental health experiences.

The acquisition comes in the wake of Modern Health’s recent $51 million Series C investment round, led by Battery Ventures, and a massive year of growth as COVID-19 continues to accelerate demand for mental health services. As an employer-focused solution offering a fully integrated mental health platform, Modern Health’s evidence-based approach provides employees access to mental health care for all levels of need, utilizing therapists, coaches, and digital content to deliver support via one comprehensive, consumer-friendly app.

The addition of Kip’s comprehensive and evidence-based communication, assessment, and analytics tools will allow Modern Health to better track and analyze outcomes and feedback over time, create more meaningful, personalized care plans, and further strengthen relationships between Modern Health’s therapists and coaches and the members they serve.
