About | Keel Digital Solutions

We are building Keel Digital Solutions to be the preeminent platform provider in the digital training & delivery of unique healthcare solutions

Our Vision

About Us

Keel Digital Solutions started in February of 2021 as a COVID-19 testing clinic under the name Vector Health Labs. During the 2021 Tokyo Summer Olympics, we watched as Simone Biles came out about her mental health struggles and made the world aware that the mental health epidemic was much larger than we thought. Her words inspired our founders to seek a better path, a way to not only catch and treat mental health as early as possible, but facilitate the next generation of mental health care.

Keel Digital Solutions (KDS) was founded in 2021 as Vector Health, offering diagnostic lab services

Our Beginnings

Keel currently operates two main lines of business: Keel Mind (formerly Get A-Head) and Keel Labs (formerly FIQ Labs). We work directly with governments and government agencies to provide customers access to our Keel Mind platform, and we offer Keel Lab saliva tests through partnerships with third-party organizations. Our focus across all lines of business is to offer customers the most technologically advanced mental health care available.

Expanding Into Mental Healthcare

While Keel Digital Solutions (KDS) is a recent entity, our pedigree goes back to 2014 with the incorporation of FIQ Labs, with Get A-Head® being established in 2017 and Vector Health rebranding as KDS in 2023.
