Built upon Teenspace Communities, this integration is expected to bolster Talkspace’s youth-oriented initiative while extending peer-support capabilities to all demographic groups

New York-based leading online behavioral health platform Talkspace has announced that it has acquired Wisdo Health, an AI-powered social health and peer support platform, to expand its mental health offerings with community and coaching services.

Wisdo is an AI-driven platform that is designed to provide users with 24/7 access to trained peers, moderated communities, and group coaching to help combat social isolation and loneliness.

Commenting on the acquisition, Dr. Jon Cohen, CEO of Talkspace, said, “Acquiring Wisdo Health marks a significant milestone in our mission to provide comprehensive mental health care that meets people where they are.”

He further added, “Wisdo’s clinically proven AI-powered peer support and communities platform perfectly complements our services, enabling us to offer personalized, stepped care solutions that address social and mental health and improve outcomes for all users. Together, we will expand access and deepen engagement, especially for those impacted by social drivers of health.”

Wisdo Health’s AI-powered platform uses patented precision-matching technology, drawing on over 100 million peer interactions to connect members with trained peers who share similar lived experiences.

Through machine learning algorithms, Wisdo enables targeted peer connections that foster emotional well-being and social resilience. Members can engage in 30+ moderated communities and group coaching programs, promoting healthy habits and improving engagement outcomes

Wisdo’s CEO Ron Goldman, added, “Joining forces with Talkspace allows us to bring the power of social health and peer support to millions more people. Our platform has shown that meaningful peer connections can transform lives while delivering significant value for our healthcare, life science, and government clients. Together, we will create a seamless continuum of care that ensures people receive the right support at the right time — while continuing to expand our AI roadmap, built on one of the richest proprietary datasets on loneliness and social health.”

The acquisition will enable Talkspace to provide continuous engagement before, during, and after therapy, ensuring users receive appropriate support across all stages of care.
