The Architecture of Ember

At the heart of our platform are four essential components that connect patients, providers, and researchers — powering smarter, more effective behavioral health interventions.

User-Facing Application

Where patients and participants experience Ember. The mobile app is the gateway through which individuals engage with Ember’s interventions. Designed with a clean, intuitive interface, it makes evidence-based behavioral health support accessible anytime, anywhere.

Personalized Journeys

Users progress through content “journeys” — carefully structured modules that adapt dynamically to the individual. Each path is shaped by sophisticated rules-based logic that integrates biometric signals, behavioral patterns, and engagement data.

Seamless Device Integration

Wearable devices connect effortlessly to the app, enabling passive, real-time tracking of physiological markers such as heart rate variability, sleep, and activity.

Active Participation

Users interact with a variety of content formats — reflective prompts, rating scales, time and duration inputs, and interactive exercises. These responses help reveal emotional state, monitor progress, and guide ongoing personalization.

Just-in-Time Interventions

Push notifications and adaptive prompts ensure the right support is delivered at the right time — whether it’s a coping strategy during a stressful moment, or encouragement when engagement lags.

Backend Infrastructure

The engine powering Ember’s intelligence. The backend is the secure, scalable core that connects every part of the Ember ecosystem. It orchestrates data ingestion, storage, processing, and decision-making, enabling the seamless delivery of personalized interventions.

Unified Data Hub

Ingests diverse data streams — user responses, biometric inputs from wearables, engagement metrics, and provider-entered information.

Advanced Machine Learning

Configurable models process these inputs to generate actionable insights, ranging from predicting relapse risk to recommending optimal intervention timing.

Integration-Ready

Robust APIs connect Ember to third-party wearable manufacturers, health systems, and research tools, ensuring interoperability and extensibility.

Reliability & Security

Built with best-in-class security and compliance standards, the backend safeguards sensitive health information while ensuring performance at scale.

Provider Portal

Empowering clinicians with insight and control. The provider portal bridges the gap between patients and care teams, equipping clinicians with real-time visibility and actionable tools.

Patient Management

Providers can easily enroll, monitor, and discharge patients from Ember-powered programs.

Analytics & Insights

Machine learning–driven dashboards highlight progress, risks, and engagement trends — surfacing clinically relevant insights to support informed decision-making.

Personalized Intervention Control

Providers can adjust the type, intensity, and timing of content delivery, tailoring care to each individual’s needs without manual micromanagement.

Outcome Tracking

Longitudinal views of patient progress help providers measure effectiveness and demonstrate impact.

Administrator Dashboard

The hub for program creation, research, and optimization. The administrator dashboard is where researchers, program developers, and technical experts design, deploy, and refine interventions on Ember’s platform.

Program Design & Publishing

Build and publish adaptive content journeys composed of multimedia, exercises, and assessments — deployable across one or many programs.

Configurable Personalization

Define how Ember’s machine learning models consume and interpret incoming data, and how those insights are leveraged to individualize the user experience.

Research & Innovation

Create, administer, and monitor clinical or research programs, enabling rapid iteration and evidence generation.

Scalable Program Management

From pilot studies to nationwide deployments, administrators can oversee and optimize interventions with precision and efficiency.
