Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear.   I’m Fred Fishkin.     Bringing an AI virtual care assistant to therapy.   That’s what a company called Jimini is doing working in partnership with mental health clinicians.     The AI assistant, named Sage,  can be available at all hours.  Co-founder Mark Jacobstein..

“There are two problems in behavioral mental health.  One is we simply don’t have enough care.  There are tens of millions of people who struggle with anxiety and depression and simply not enough therapists to take care of them.   And the second problem is that the efficacy of the solutions that we have is not what we would like.   And so we set out a year ago, now, to build solutions, a therapeutic service, that would be highly effective.”

Sage is being utilized today.  More about how it works at JiminiHealth.com.
