Jaspr Health is on a mission to reduce death by suicide. We are a Seattle-based company founded and advised by the world’s experts in mental health and behavioral psychology, and our technology is enabling healthcare systems to deliver evidence-based suicide prevention at scale.

And people in suicide crisis face lengths of stay four times longer than other emergencies.

Jaspr Health’s tablet-based solution transforms hours of waiting into an opportunity for evidence-based interventions, powerful videos of individuals with lived experience to instill hope, a library of comfort and skills exercises, and EHR-integrated assessment to inform disposition decisions. Jaspr targets improved patient outcomes, satisfaction, and throughput ROI.
