The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Gleamer radNet, an imaging provider that competes with many independent Gleamer customers, now owns the company and also owns the competing DeepHealth AI portfolio, so roadmap and pricing priorities are an open question for non-RadNet buyers.; Meru Health the programme is twelve weeks and then it ends, which fits an episode of treatment but not a chronic condition needing maintenance, so relapse after week twelve lands on whatever pathway the buyer has funded next, if any.
  • They diverge on capability: Gleamer covers BoneView, Meru Health covers Twelve week structured programme.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

  • A health system seeking to offload moderate depression and anxiety from a psychiatry service with long waitsnot Gleamer

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Gleamer

  • RadNet, an imaging provider that competes with many independent Gleamer customers, now owns the company and also owns the competing DeepHealth AI portfolio, so roadmap and pricing priorities are an open question for non-RadNet buyers.
  • The measured benefit is largest for less experienced readers, so a specialist musculoskeletal service will see far less improvement than the published reader studies suggest.
  • Cleared indications differ per module and per market, and the FDA cleared set is narrower than the CE marked European set, so an American buyer cannot rely on European reference sites.
  • Each additional module adds alert volume into the same worklist, and departments running several Gleamer algorithms report needing local threshold tuning to keep radiologist trust.
  • Pricing is per exam and not published, which makes budgeting difficult for an emergency department whose plain film volume swings seasonally.

Meru Health

  • The programme is twelve weeks and then it ends, which fits an episode of treatment but not a chronic condition needing maintenance, so relapse after week twelve lands on whatever pathway the buyer has funded next, if any.
  • Whether the employer, the health plan or the member pays depends on the contract route, and members frequently do not know which applies to them until they receive a bill or discover they do not.
  • A structured programme demands daily engagement, and members who cannot sustain that get much less than the outcome data implies, because the published results reflect members who completed.
  • The heart rate variability device is a differentiator but also a logistics and support burden, adding shipping, returns and device support to what would otherwise be a software deployment.
  • Meru is small relative to Lyra, Spring Health and the large payer owned behavioural health offerings, so an employer choosing it takes on more vendor concentration risk in a category that has seen frequent consolidation.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Gleamer: Who owns Gleamer?

RadNet agreed to acquire Gleamer in February 2026 for around two hundred and fifteen million euros upfront. RadNet also owns DeepHealth, a competing AI portfolio.

Meru Health: Is Meru Health still operating?

Yes. It launched Meru Health Advanced in May 2026 and expanded its Harvard Pilgrim Health Care collaboration in 2025. It has not wound down.

Gleamer: Is BoneView FDA cleared?

Yes, BoneView holds 510(k) clearance including for paediatric fracture detection, but the cleared finding set is narrower than the CE marked indication in Europe.

Meru Health: How long is the programme?

Around twelve weeks. It is a bounded treatment episode rather than open ended therapy, which is why health plans will contract for it.

Gleamer: What does the evidence actually show?

Multi-reader studies reported improved reader sensitivity for fracture detection and fewer false negatives, with the gain concentrated among less experienced readers in emergency settings.

Meru Health: Who pays?

It depends on the contract. Meru sells to both health plans and employers, and member cost sharing differs between those routes. Confirm which applies before enrolling.

Gleamer: Can I buy just BoneView?

Yes, modules are licensed individually, though the commercial pitch is now the Copilot bundle across modalities.

Meru Health: Does it include medication?

Psychiatric consultation is part of the programme where medication is indicated, which distinguishes it from app plus coaching products that cannot prescribe.
