What You Should Know:

KHealth, a data-driven virtual primary care platform providing affordable, personalized healthcare to millions of adults and children, today announced its acquisition of Trusst, the mental health app connecting people and providers for on-demand text-based therapy. Financial terms of deal were not disclosed.

– Trusst has built a proprietary, simulated way for users to have virtual conversations with national experts on topics ranging from shyness to trauma. The conversations look and feel like live text exchanges, and will allow K Health to offer millions of people high quality care from professionals who would otherwise be prohibitively expensive or inconvenient to access.

– With this acquisition, K Health will be expanding its mental health offerings. Users will be able to chat with clinicians 24/7 for therapy and medication at home without the need for insurance or an appointment.
