Our Story
Built at the intersection of medicine, AI, and human behavior
Most wellness tools ask you how you feel and leave it at that. We knew that wasn’t enough. mentAImage™ was built to capture what words alone cannot, and to give everyone a clearer picture of how they are really doing.
The Founder
Dr. Saber Ghadakzadeh, MD-PhD
Dr. Ghadakzadeh is a physician scientist and entrepreneur with an MD, MSc, and PhD. Over 25 years, he has worked across clinical medicine, academic research, genetic engineering, nanotechnology, and AI in healthcare. He is the founder of mentAImage™ and PulseKey™.
Working across hospitals, research labs, and organizations, he kept noticing the same thing: stress and burnout were building up long before anyone knew. Surveys were not working. People were afraid to speak honestly. And the signals that mattered most, voice, expression, non-verbal behavior, were never captured at all.
He built mentAImage™ to fill that gap. Not another survey. Not another chatbot that asks how you feel. A multimodal system that listens, observes, and understands, and keeps everything private by design.
“If someone doesn’t understand something, maybe it’s not being explained in the right way. That philosophy shaped everything we built.”
Why mentAImage™
The problems we set out to solve
Burnout is not a personal failure. It builds upstream, quietly, over months. By the time it shows up as a disability claim or a resignation, it is already too late. We built tools to surface those signals earlier, for everyone.
Surveys do not work
People are afraid to speak up. Engagement is low because people fear being targeted. We built a check-in system people can trust, with individual data that never reaches employers without informed consent.
One channel is not enough
What someone writes in a text box only captures what they can articulate. Voice, drawing, and writing together reveal patterns that words alone cannot. Our tools are multimodal by design.
Wellness should not depend on one person
A passionate HR manager who leaves takes all the progress with them. We help organizations build wellness into their systems, their hiring, their onboarding, their processes, so it outlasts any individual.
Who we serve
Built for everyone. Especially those the standard tools miss.
mentAImage™ is designed for anyone who experiences stress. That includes every person in every workplace. We are particularly effective for neurodivergent individuals, not because they need a special tool, but because standard wellness tools were not built with them in mind.
Neurodivergent people often communicate differently, process stress differently, and express themselves through channels that conventional check-ins never capture. Our multimodal approach, combining voice acoustics, written reflection, and creative expression, picks up signals that a text box simply cannot. That makes mentAImage™ more accurate for everyone, and genuinely useful for those who have been invisible to other tools.
Supporting neurodivergent individuals well is also not a one-way street. It requires building awareness across entire teams, not just accommodating one person. Our organizational tools help leaders understand their teams, not just the individuals who feel safe enough to disclose.
