Strategic platform expansion with Alea Health
Alea Health has developed a proprietary on-line therapy platform that leverages AI-driven tools to address mental health challenges. Its platform incorporates conversational AI and voice technology to optimize patient intake and follow-up processes, reducing administrative burdens and enhancing patient engagement.
The acquisition of Alea Health aligns with Treatment.com's mission to deliver innovative AI solutions in health care and expand its capabilities in the rapidly growing mental health and AI-driven health technology sectors.
Harnessing conversational AI for health care transformation
Treatment.com has consistently been advocating for the utilization of conversational AI in all aspects of health care delivery over the next five to 10 years. Voice AI has the opportunity to impact many aspects of the current health care systems, including:
-
AI-powered and automated multilingual patient intake, triage and assessment;
- Streamlining of health care professionals' administrative tasks;
- Clinical decision support;
- Remote patient monitoring and post hospital/clinic discharge follow-ups;
- Mental health support and therapy.
The integration of Alea Health's platform with Treatment.com's proprietary Global Library of Medicine (GLM), a highly advanced and personalized AI health care engine, is aimed to enhance the company's ability to deliver a unified and comprehensive solution tailored to meet the needs of health care systems worldwide.
Extended geographic reach -- UAE
The GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) announced at the end of 2024 that it expects to invest up to $135-billion to revolutionize health care through AI and data-driven innovation. With its presence in the UAE and an established pipeline of opportunities, Alea Health provides Treatment.com with a critical foothold in the region.
This proposed acquisition represents Treatment.com's first major investment in the Middle East, enabling the company to develop strong local relationships and tap into a market focused on modernizing health care delivery.
Advancing mental health support to augment primary care

Alea Health's innovative approach combines AI and multimodal analysis, including sentiment analysis and natural language processing of voice data, to enhance therapeutic matching and predict therapeutic alliance, a key driver of successful mental health outcomes.
With a network of over 35 internationally licensed therapists, reflecting the diverse demographic segmentation of UAE residents, Alea Health's on-line therapy platform offers patients the ability to select therapists, schedule and pay for sessions, and conduct therapy on-line.
