About Dane Health

Why we started Dane Health

We started Dane Health because to solve any problem, you have to acknowledge it is there, understand the scope, and know more about it.

Wellbeing is more than a limited number of sessions with a counselor - and involves everything from mental health, to financial wellbeing.

We recognize that people need help and that most employees, patients, and providers lack the tools to collect data over time - so that trends and outliers can be spotted and issues addressed.

Our mission was clear:
- to help our users with assessments, and provide them guidance as to next steps
- to help clinicians with assessment scoring and analytics to help them perform their job more efficiently
- and to help organizations understand the trends other data underlying their scope of interest
