Their mental health needs.

Our purpose.
With Marvin, clinicians can now get the specialized help they need to overcome burnout and better support their communities.
Meet the Marvin team

Marvin was inspired by the experience and achievements of our co-founder, Dr. Aparna Atluru, whose clinical experience as a psychiatrist highlighted the challenges that she and her peers were facing. Dr. Atluru quickly realized that existing solutions to growing healthcare worker burnout were too broad or ineffective.

To solve this, we brought together leading academic minds on healthcare worker well-being, top therapists, data scientists, engineers, clinical operations leaders, and more, with a mission to help healthcare employees and support lasting change.

Our academic partners
At Marvin, we’re leveraging the latest insights from the world’s leading experts on healthcare worker well-being.
