Talkspace Acquires Wisdo Health to Expand Peer-Support Capabilities

Virtual behavioral health provider Talkspace has announced the acquisition of Wisdo Health, a peer-support platform designed to combat loneliness and social isolation through AI-facilitated connections and group-based coaching.

The move marks a significant expansion of Talkspace’s capabilities beyond therapy and psychiatric care, extending into social health and community-based support. Wisdo Health’s platform combines artificial intelligence with peer-reviewed matching tools to connect users with others who share similar lived experiences. It also supports clients with analytics on engagement, outcomes, and cost reduction, offering insight into factors such as ICD-10 Z codes and care gap closures.

“Wisdo’s clinically proven AI-powered peer support and communities platform perfectly complements our services, enabling us to offer personalized, stepped care solutions that address social and mental health and improve outcomes for all users,” said Dr. Jon Cohen, CEO of Talkspace.

According to Talkspace, the integration of Wisdo’s technology will allow users to access 24/7 moderated peer communities, alongside Talkspace’s therapy and psychiatry offerings. The combined services are positioned to enhance access and engagement, particularly for individuals affected by social determinants of health.

Wisdo Health CEO Ron Goldman said that teaming up with Talkspace will allow the company to extend its reach and strengthen its AI roadmap. “Together, we will create a seamless continuum of care that ensures people receive the right support at the right time, while continuing to expand our AI roadmap,” he said.

The acquisition follows a strategic partnership formed in 2024, aimed at improving access to mental health services for individuals aged 65 and older, while addressing costs and engagement challenges across healthcare plans.

Talkspace has also been expanding its digital partnerships throughout 2025, including collaborations with Blue Cross of Idaho, Amazon Pharmacy, and Bark Technologies. These alliances have allowed Talkspace to broaden its reach, integrate therapy access with prescription management, and deliver support tools for teens and families.

By bringing Wisdo Health under its umbrella, Talkspace is strengthening its role as a multi-layered digital mental health provider—combining clinical therapy, AI-enabled peer support, and social health engagement to meet the complex mental wellness needs of diverse populations.
