Mental health spent decades talking about feelings like they were ghosts. Everyone knew they were real, everyone felt the impact, but the data trail went cold the second a session ended. Oasys Health was born out of that tension in July 2024, not as a softer take on care, but as a demand for evidence. New York grit, Harvard and Duke brains, and zero patience for medicine that cannot measure itself.
Hashem Abdou saw the gap early. Coming out of biomedical engineering and computer science at Harvard, with real wearables research under his belt, the contrast was obvious. Cardiology runs on signals. Endocrinology runs on numbers. Behavioral health ran on notes, memory, and good intentions. That disconnect was not philosophical, it was structural. So Hashem Abdou, Raffay Rana, and Dawit Fasika decided to build infrastructure instead of commentary.
That decision just cleared a major checkpoint. Oasys Health announced $4.6M in total funding, made up of a $4M seed led by Pathlight Ventures, with Twine Ventures and Better Ventures alongside them, building on a $600K pre-seed backed by 1984 Ventures. Capital matters, but conviction matters more. This round reads like investors betting on execution, not promises.
Oasys Health is already live with over 25 clinics, supporting hundreds of providers and thousands of patients nationwide. New clinics are onboarding in roughly 48 hours, not fiscal years. Thousands of therapy sessions are logged, documentation runs automatically, claim denials drop, and reimbursements move faster. When clinicians reclaim 10+ hours a week, that is not a productivity stat, that is better care showing up on Monday morning.
The platform earns its place. This is not a legacy EHR with a fresh coat of paint. Oasys Health operates as an AI-native system that unifies scheduling, billing, documentation, and real-time physiological data. Apple Watch, Oura Ring, Strava, and Flo feed sleep, heartrate, and activity directly into clinical workflows. Therapy gains context. Progress gains visibility. Outcomes stop hiding behind anecdotes.
Raffay Rana’s focus on neuro-symbolic systems and AI infrastructure makes the data usable instead of noisy. Dawit Fasika’s applied math and finance background keeps the operation scalable without losing discipline. The 2026 roadmap points toward a full outcomes measurement framework and an aggressive expansion to support 1,000+ enterprise-scale mental health organizations across MSOs and university systems.
