The world is looking pretty grey… when the stats are very black and white.
1 in 2 Australians will face mental health illness sometime in their life.
1 in 7 Australians are on anti-depressants.
Whilst, 1 in 3 psychologists does not have capacity to accept new clients.
Mental illness and suicide is costing the Australian economy $220 Billion a year…
Seeing these stats, we asked ourselves…
Can we use emerging technologies to solve the global mental health crisis?
Why not try?
We should be able to access mental health support whenever we need it. But the truth is, traditional clinics and telehealth options are still limited by geography and therapist availability.
AI technology can be the answer.
We are already immersed in technology. Our smart wearables can monitor our biological rhythms to detect irregularities and support diagnosis.
What if we can apply the same science towards mental health?
We have all the tools available at our fingertips. Machine Learning can be used to study a person’s language use to prevent a mental health crisis from occurring. Virtual assistants like Leora can limitlessly scale access to early intervention supports. Advances AI can seamlessly connect our physical, mental and emotional states and provide an omni-channel, personalised care experience.
With Leora, you can
- Access to evidence-based self-care tools and exercises through conversational experience
- Get your self-care journey supported by a human specialist
- Have a safe place to share your inside stories
We are still at our early stage of the journey and appreciate all kinds of feedback - positive and/or constructive.
