Company mission

Our vision is to advance human lifespan by pioneering novel science in mental health. Our mission is to discover and solve the unmet mental health needs of patients, companies and governments through deep science and technology. We are backed by the early investors in Palantir and Peloton, Wall Street veterans and tech unicorn founders.

Our take

Harper are setting out to help 250 million people in their journey towards better mental health and lead the societal shift from mental health care to mental health prevention. They distinguish themselves through their holistic and science focused approach, which is personalised, preventative and behavioural.

They have developed an accurate and predictive diagnostic of stress. Their technology is trusted by CEOs, elite athletes and the military.

Harper's propriety clinical framework leverages wellbeing indicators, including personality and subjective & objective biomarkers. In doing so, it can identify mental health risks and design the most clinically-effective interventions.

As an early stage start up, Harper are operating internationally and currently delivering care to a small number of referral only patients
