The opportunity

A country with the highest demand and too few clinicians

In France, mental health is now the leading expenditure category for public health insurance, ahead of oncology, yet one in two people who need a psychiatrist cannot reach one in a reasonable time

French citizens live with an active mental-health diagnosis, roughly one in five
€163B
Annual economic cost of mental illness, around 5.9% of national GDP

ARENIA · the unmet middle
Months on a waiting list for a psychiatrist Generic offshore apps with no clinical grounding

Between long waiting lists and generic, non-clinical apps lies a large unmet middle: people with mild-to-moderate depression, anxiety, stress, and burnout who need timely, affordable, medical-grade support in their own language, and that is exactly who ARENIA is built for

What ARENIA is

A clinical instrument, not a wellness app

You open the app, tap Start, and simply speak. ARENIA listens, asks, and guides the session using evidence-based protocols: CBT, ACT, or trauma-focused work, chosen for what you bring to it

  • A session lasts fifteen to thirty minutes, with no appointment, no waiting room, and no commute
  • You leave with a clear summary of what was discussed, the technique used, and one next step to carry forward
  • A mood journal and exercises stay with you between sessions, so support does not stop when the session ends
Live voice, under three seconds to respond
The protocol adapts in real time to what you say

Architecture

Three layers, one continuous conversation

Clinical reasoning, low-latency voice, and longitudinal memory work together to turn a spoken sentence into a clinically-guided response, and every session into a structured record

LAYER 01

Knowledge

Clinical reasoning over French protocols, drawn from HAS, CFTP, and INSERM, run through leading language models rather than machine-translated foreign material

Mistral Large 3Claude Sonnet 4.5+HAS · CFTP · INSERM
LAYER 02

Voice

Speech in and speech out in under three seconds, transcribed and synthesised entirely on certified servers in France, so your voice never leaves the country

Whisper, self-hostedXTTS v2 · Kokorolatency < 3s
LAYER 03

Memory

Your state carried between sessions, with mood and validated scores tracked over time, and a structured clinical note generated after each session

Why ARENIA is different

Six things the rest of the market does not have

01

Voice-first by design

The spoken session is the core format, not a text chat with a voice option bolted on afterwards

02

A genuinely French clinical corpus

Trained on HAS, CFTP, and INSERM material, an asset competitors cannot replicate without years of French-market work

03

Class IIa medical-device status

The right to claim clinical efficacy, bid in certified tenders, and pursue national reimbursement pathways

04

Built inside the healthcare system

Routing through national services, clinical notes to your health record, and compatibility with the public ecosystem

05

Full data sovereignty

Every recording and score stored and processed only on certified servers in France, which no global competitor matches

06

A real crisis protocol

A complete four-level clinical escalation path, not a single text link to a helpline at the bottom of a screen

Our purpose
ARENIA exists to make timely, medical-grade mental-health support available to everyone in France, safely, sovereignly, and inside the national healthcare system
France first · The European market as the longer-term horizon
Safety by design

A human is always one step away

ARENIA knows the edge of its competence, two streams run through every session, standardised symptom scores and the meaning of what you say, and either can trigger a graded response

TIME TO REACH CRISIS SUPPORT
<90seconds

Against fifteen to sixty minutes to reach the national line through conventional means, ARENIA moves in under ninety seconds when it matters most

Extending human care, never replacing it

ARENIA handles mild-to-moderate concerns on its own, and hands severe cases to a licensed specialist, every protocol reviewed by a clinical committee of French psychiatrists

1

Vigilance

Low mood or mild anxiety triggers a short exercise and a gentle follow-up within twenty-four hours

2

Attention REFERRAL

Moderate symptoms and a decline in function prompt a booking with an approved psychologist

3

Alert LINE 3114

Passive suicidal ideation triggers an automatic connection to the national mental-health line

4

Emergency SAMU 15

Active intent or an acute episode escalates to emergency services, with location and contact alerting on consent

Data sovereignty

Your voice never leaves France

Every recording, every score, and every note is stored and processed only on HDS-certified servers in France, under GDPR and CNIL supervision, from the very first session

The only thing that ever leaves is a clinical note you have consented to share with your own doctor
