Providers of mental health services are turning to AI-powered chatbots designed to help fill the gaps amid a shortage of therapists and growing demand from patients.
Woebot founder Alison Darcy aims to modernize psychotherapy by providing a tool that offers support even when therapists are unavailable, addressing issues of stigma, cost, and access to mental health services.
Woebot acts as a pocket therapist using chat to manage issues like depression and anxiety, utilizing CBT principles. It has helped 1.5 million users and is available through certain benefit plans or healthcare professionals.
