Limbic
Clinically validated AI triage for mental health referrals.
About
Limbic (limbic.ai) builds regulated clinical AI for mental health, best known for Limbic Access — an AI triage and assessment assistant that is a Class IIa medical device. It screens self-referrals, collects intake information, and computes preliminary clinical measures at the point of referral.
Its tools are used by 650,000+ patients across 66% of NHS England's Integrated Care Boards, making it the most widely deployed mental health triage chatbot in the NHS. It is UK/NHS-focused, so availability outside that system is limited.
