Transforming Behavioral Health Patient Intake with AI-Driven Innovation

Sai-Connect and Betula Partner to Transform Behavioral Health Patient Intake with AI-Driven Innovation

Boston, MA, September 20, 2025.  Sai-Connect, a 501c3 nonprofit organization committed to equitable access to healthcare and Betula LLC, an emerging leader in responsible healthcare AI, are proud to announce a strategic partnership to streamline the behavioral healthcare patient intake process using AI technology. This collaboration aims to reduce bureaucracy and paperwork, allowing healthcare professionals to focus on patients with the most urgent and complex needs.

By integrating Betula’s advanced artificial intelligence into the Sai-Connect’s platform, the partnership will introduce an AI-powered first-line identification system that ensures patients are triaged quickly and equitably based on clinical need and accessibility.

“Our healthcare systems in the US are overwhelmed with administrative tasks that distract from what matters most, human care and focused attention” said Suguna Chunduri, founder at Sai-Connect. This partnership is about reclaiming time for compassion and making sure no one falls through the cracks because of paperwork.”

The new intake system will:

·       Automate the initial intake and assessment process using intelligent AI

·       Prioritize patients based on real-time need, not just availability

·       Reduce administrative burden on physicians and care teams

·       Expand access by ensuring every patient is seen, heard, and supported appropriately

“At Betula, we aim to create efficient, human-centered agents,” said Rahul Ajit, Founder of Betula LLC. “Partnering with Sai-Connect allows us to put their Patient-First mission into action, building agents that support, not replace, caregivers.”

This partnership underscores a shared commitment: everyone deserves care based on need, not navigation skills or paperwork.

The AI-enhanced intake solution is currently in early deployment and in Spring of 2026, Sai-Connect plans to roll out this new AI platform to various behavioral healthcare providers nationwide in line with its non-profit mission.
