Lief Therapeutics

Lief Therapeutics is a digital mental health company founded by Rohan Dixit, a former Harvard and Stanford neuroscientist. The company's core product is an FDA-approved, insurance-reimbursable wearable device that monitors heart rate variability (HRV) and delivers real-time biofeedback to help users manage stress, anxiety, and mental health conditions. Lief pairs the wearable with health coaches and a companion app. Clinical studies have shown significant reductions in substance use days. The company raised initial funding via a Kickstarter campaign in 2016.
