The Story of Nerveli

After having had to see twenty-three doctors to figure out why he was having debilitating pain, our CEO and co-founder, like so many other people who have experienced unresolved pain, was extremely frustrated and exasperated.

After seeing many flaws in the treatment of pain, he decided to partner with our team of pain psychologists, pain scientists, physicians, and data scientists. They came up with a better solution, and Nerveli was born.

How Does It Work?

Nerveli uses proprietary science-based methodology to first help provide more context around the root cause of one’s pain. Next, we utilize our gamified Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and machine learning algorithms to provide personalized support and recommendations to users on a daily basis on how to more effectively manage their pain. Our mobile app offers support and resources, guiding you towards a more pain-free life with the backing of a community facing similar challenges.
