Wysa
AI mental wellbeing chatbot
Consumer mental health & therapy
Wysa is an AI-driven mental wellbeing chatbot using CBT and mindfulness techniques, sold direct-to-consumer alongside separate NHS-integrated clinical products.
The read
Wysa's consumer product is a free AI chatbot offering CBT-based self-help, but the company's more recent growth has come from clinical and provider-facing tools sold into NHS Talking Therapies services. It holds FDA Breakthrough Device Designation for a clinical-grade conversational agent targeting chronic pain with co-occurring depression or anxiety, and secured a further Wellcome Trust grant in February 2026 to continue that work.
Its consumer chatbot remains free and direct-to-consumer, distinct from the NHS-facing product line that now drives much of its growth story.
The Bridgehead view
Wysa is increasingly a clinical-services and NHS-procurement business wearing a consumer-app front door, which makes its consumer product the more genuinely comparable peer to Calm and Headspace, even as its growth narrative pulls toward provider sales.
