Wisdo is a social health platform for peer support and guided coaching, available on Android, iOS, and the web. Members can join more than 30 supportive communities led by experienced guides, connect one-to-one with peers who share lived experience, and attend live group sessions led by certified coaches. AI-powered matching connects members around shared experiences and needs. Monthly check-ins track mental and physical health, while referrals can point members to clinical or social support based on their needs. Wisdo is intended for people seeking support with mental health, chronic conditions, life transitions, or connection with others who understand their experiences. The community is for adults aged 18 and older and is professionally moderated; rule violations may result in suspension. People without a partner access code can explore the service free for 60 days, after which a valid partner organization code is required. Listed plans are $35 a month billed every three months, or $70 a year. Wisdo says it is part of Talkspace and will continue as its own community and app.
