Co-Creating the Future of AI-Enabled Mental Healthcare in India
At Nervure, we believe the most meaningful innovations happen when academia and industry come together—not just to study, but to build, validate, and scale solutions that directly improve lives.
As India’s mental health needs evolve, the role of universities in shaping contextual, ethical, and research-driven tools has never been more vital.
We invite forward-thinking academic institutions to partner with us in building a new generation of intelligent tools that empower therapists, improve access, and elevate standards of care.
🧠 Why Partner With Nervure?
Mental health professionals in India are overwhelmed by rising caseloads, limited resources, and time-consuming manual tasks. Nervure’s AI platform (Therapōn) enhances their practice—not by replacing clinical expertise, but by augmenting it with culturally intelligent, real-time insights grounded in research.
Universities are at the heart of this transformation. Together, we can:
✔ Co-develop evidence-based tools and interventions
✔ Bridge the gap between research and real-world therapy
✔ Equip students and faculty with hands-on experience in AI and mental health innovation
✔ Create research that is academically rigorous and clinically impactful

Note:
Our solutions are in active development and currently in closed beta, refining our approach to personalised mental wellness.
Meanwhile, keep journaling, process your thoughts, and seek therapy if needed.
What matters, continue building a safe space for yourself and those around you 'because mental well-being starts with everyday care'.
Sometimes, allowing ourselves to sit with what lingers, without forcing action, helps us find the space, pace, and presence that truly matters.
