Our take
In the United States, millions of people suffer from mental illness each year - a figure which is unfortunately on the rise - and research suggests that depression and anxiety disorders lead to $1 trillion in lost productivity worldwide each year. Lyra Health is one company out to tackle these issues head-on, by delivering mental health care for employees.
Lyrah Health is seen as a key player alongside other online mental telehealth platforms, which include Calm, Genoa, and Talkspace. The company offers video counselling sessions and one-to-one messaging to help users with a variety of conditions including anxiety, depression, and substance use disorder. Coaching is also offered as a preventative measure.
Lyra Health boasts a 90% satisfaction rate across its more than 2.2 million members, demonstrating the impact that its products can have on wellbeing. In 2022, Lyra announced its acquisition of ICAS World, an international provider of employee assistance programs. Its global network includes over 1,500 companies and 6.3 million users across more than 155 countries, which should give Lyra smooth inroads into global markets.
