Therachat Enhances Its Platform to Improve Client Engagement In-Between Therapy SessionsSAN FRANCISCO, June 27, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Therachat, a smart journaling tool for therapists and their clients, today launched the next generation of its HIPAA-compliant platform designed to augment therapy sessions. The smart journaling application provides therapists with a customizable platform to assign homework to clients (like journaling and emotion tracking), direct messaging and text message analysis -- powered by artificial intelligence (AI). Recent data from the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) found that one in five adults in the U.S. (43.8 million people) suffer from mental illness each year. With a widespread need for accessible mental health services, technology offers new options for people looking to cope with mild to severe symptoms. To understand the process and best practices for managing mental health conditions, Therachat met with hundreds of therapists and their clients as well as with consumers who are coping with mental health disorders without a therapist. As such, Therachat created its smart journaling platform to be easily accessible on iOS and Android devices and to function independently or in conjunction with treatment plans. Therachat's therapist dashboard offers real-time insights and analysis to inform in-person therapy sessions and keep clients engaged in-between visits. Key features include:
Therachat's mobile app provides smart journaling and emotion tracking, which leverages AI technology, to help users develop coping mechanisms for anxiety.
"From mHealth to telehealth, the benefits healthcare providers and patients receive from digital innovation is indisputable and transformational. An area ripe for this disruption is the traditional mental health sector," said Victor Camlek, principal analyst, Transformational Health, Frost & Sullivan. "It's an opportune time for therapists to embrace and utilize technology like Therachat's to receive deep insights that will enhance efforts, increase touch points between client/patient interactions and measure progress against therapy goals." "Our goal is to create a technology that enables anyone suffering from a mental health issue to take a proactive approach to emotional wellness, and to offer a non-intrusive way for therapists to integrate data into their practice," said Kouris Kalligas, CEO and co-founder of Therachat. "With its ability to detect patterns and measure progress, Therachat's new features open the door for a more efficient process. In doing so, we are making mental healthcare more accessible and taking a step forward in modernizing the industry." Therapist Testimonials
