AI cuts neuropsychiatry costs by reducing required therapist headcount per session.

Neuropsychiatry treatments like ketamine and psilocybin for PTSD, depression, and anxiety are 30 to 40 percent more effective than SSRIs but remain inaccessible due to high human capital costs. Currently, two therapists must be present during treatment because patients are in a vulnerable state and there are sexual harassment concerns. Each therapist charges $100 to $150 per hour. Zenith OS uses AI to augment administrative tasks and help with patient recommendations, allowing clinics to operate with one therapist instead of two, significantly reducing costs and expanding access to these groundbreaking treatments.
