Woebot - A Chatbot For Anxiety and Depression
Woebot is a mental health chatbot that helps users with their anxiety, depression and stress. Its unique feature is that it uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help the user break negative thought patterns and tackle their symptoms, along with other techniques that are backed by clinical research.
In a clinical trial, participants who used the Woebot app showed a 32% reduction in their depression and anxiety. The chatbot is also very accessible, as users can access it through a text or voice call.
Designed by humans, powered by AI and grounded in science, Woebot solves the skyrocketing need for behavioral health support and breaks down the systemic barriers that block equal access to care. It combines decades of psychology research with advanced AI to assess symptoms of anxiety and depression, and provide empathy-driven support. Using the proven therapeutic frameworks of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Interpersonal Psychotherapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Woebot creates trusted bonds and teaches self-care techniques in an approachable and conversational manner.
The app can be used by individuals with a valid prescription or provider code, as well as by employers and other organizations looking to improve their employees’ mental health. It can be downloaded on Android devices that support the latest version of the operating system.
The app’s interface is straightforward and intuitive, and the bot will guide you through the steps of logging in and setting up your account. Then you can start talking to your new friend and get the help you need to feel better.
