mentalis closes care gaps in the field of mental health. Our goal is to help people with mental illnesses directly, quickly, and with high quality.

The idea for mentalis emerged from more than a decade of intensive research: Dr. Christian Aljoscha Lukas, a psychologist and long-time researcher at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, has been studying for over 10 years how digital interventions can effectively help people with mental illnesses.

To bring these scientific insights into practice, mentalis was founded.

mentalis is a spin-off from Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg with a strong focus on scientific work. In our care offerings, the well-being of those affected is the center of attention. We follow a Hybrid Care approach combining therapeutic apps with psychological telephone conversations - immediately accessible and without waiting times for patients.

Trained psychologists accompany and motivate users during therapy app usage and support them in returning to everyday life.

We offer innovative care for adults with a seamless hybrid care after inpatient stays and low-threshold immediate help for youths with mental health challenges through programs like mentalis Nachsorge and mentalis CareNow.

Over 100 clinics and more than 40 health insurers are partners of mentalis, underlining the clinical evidence and quality of our products and care offerings.
