Elomia Health acquires Earkick to expand AI mental wellbeing platform

Elomia Health has acquired Earkick, an AI-powered companion that helps over 250,000 users track their mood, sleep patterns, and daily habits. Ukrainian entrepreneur Taras Pohrebniak, who founded Elomia Health in 2019, aims to expand its AI mental wellbeing platform through this acquisition.

Earkick, established in 2021 by Dr Herbert Bay and Karin Andrea Stephan, offers personalized suggestions and content based on real data. The acquisition aligns with Elomia's strategic plan to transition from a consumer app to an API provider for care-focused organizations. This move positions the company as a leading infrastructure for AI wellbeing support.

Earkick's app enables users to identify patterns in their lives and receive personalized recommendations. Karin Andrea Stephan, COO of Earkick, emphasized that delivering the right message at the right time can save lives. The combined expertise of Elomia Health and Earkick will make such personalized support available on a larger scale.

The acquisition will enhance Elomia's LLM-powered API, allowing healthcare providers to launch compliant AI chatbots for wellbeing support. Elomia's technology has been validated by independent studies, including a randomized controlled trial conducted with the University of Pennsylvania.

The deal also includes Earkick's ongoing access to new versions of Mia21, a memory engine developed by the Earkick team. Pohrebniak highlighted Elomia's focus on creating safe, evidence-based support for AI wellbeing applications.

Elomia Health and Earkick aim to deliver a more comprehensive AI mental wellbeing solution by integrating Earkick's AI models and safety measures with Elomia's technology.
