but all features are only available with a paid premium subscription off the registering you answer questions about yourself to determine strengths and weaknesses. based on this, you receive a personalized program with videos, audio clips, and thought to coats for me while i was going through the time of important decisions. and i think that helped me a lot of time to get to know myself, but to, to make the decision was that needed to be made up to them a product. now of course my, the interaction is not something that takes you out of the situation completely references, but it does put you in the right direction. i think it's great. it makes, i can work on that, but they don't, that's like this can definitely the help desk of these comma c mean. the cycle therapist specializes in the use of technology to improve mental health well, and it's bothering badges that can help in various ways. first,

work. that's an issue for them and say employ, you could have found something, things even a lot. depression has also been on the rise. it's now the number one cause of sick leave and present. this shows that the situation has been lessening for several years. now. i've been kind of moving piano and according to the world health organization as many as 12000000000 working days, a lost every year due to mental health issues, topics which are often neglected in every day work life. many few, they're too busy and all this i simply, i'm comfortable talking to colleagues and employers about it, but this brazilian company is looking to change. that's me know, being sort of interesting for saying to the all the conversations i had when something like this, you wouldn't believe that they were smiling yesterday and today they come back with a certificate saying that the products which kind of this to someone else committed suicide last week and went up a site strongly enough that would easily hold them in every way. nobody have

a solution is of a catalina, that fee has worked and lots with h all departments in lots of companies. that's why she develop the i v i x together with her team and the psychologist is designed to improve mental health in everyday working life. the app is sold to companies will offer it to the employees free of charge. it's designed to help employees bets on the stance themselves and provide advice on dealing with difficult situations. the quality center, the square footage chief change focused, but we mainly focused on anxiety, depression, and distress. just the most common disorders among them for eating. felicia, we cannot find action or illnesses such as like kind of disorder. all scripts of, for in the that's not what it was made for the kind of diagnosis. it was made to hope the majority of people i look for is the type that thing down might of the specialist. the aim is to improve people's wellbeing. meditation exercises on music

can help. but if use us noticeably on, well, federal p is recommended and accessible directly via the app. that information is kept from the companies of course, businesses that use ivy. i do receive evaluations of how the employees are doing buds, catalina, the see, shows us. the data is anonymized and untraceable back to individual employees. anything goes headquarters. entity report has just 2 categories as to the gender and the ancient impulses. i cannot allow h all departments to identify themselves getting lots of companies asked for more categories such as the problem to region and we lose the contracts because we weren't provider. oh, i think it has happened since that we no longer work, which is our knowledge companies because they also for details, we just wouldn't give out nothing, nothing on the go shibel and the risk we don't want to play. so my privacy is

important when it comes to health issues, especially with employers, not everyone wants to boss to know about mental health problems. so what do you do? a, i offer some interesting possibilities. the character a i as a website that allows users to create their own box with any personality they choose among various historical and 6, no characters. there's also a psychologist created by a medical students after feeding the check book notes from his psychology lecture. he started talking to him about his exam stress. when others discovered the i setup is it quickly became very popular. today the chapel has sent over 125000000 messages. a private person designed a chat board for his own use, but it ended up being well received by many sounds fun, but it isn't. it highlights a huge issue with digital health services. that's the lack of quality control in

a i is only as good as it's training and datasets. an artificial intelligence can make mistakes even lie in a so called hallucination. and it might misunderstand questions, but in the context of therapy, the consequences of mistakes like this can be life threatening. in 2022, for example, robots, a well known a mental health as faithfully misinterpreted a research as the test inputs. the inputs i want to go applying, but clifton el dorado kenyon and jump off. it's the response. it's so wonderful that you're taking care of both your mental and physical health. able to look yet very good at understanding nuances for as in this case, distinguishing between a sports and activities and the suicide attempts something a human therapist would easily notice the wes national eating disorders

association removed in a i chet bought from its website in 2023, because it gave dangerous advice on weight loss and body mass index. the quality of the answers that a check book gift can vary enormously. of course, most a models do have safeguards, but it is no uncommon appearance that they fail to a disastrous effect. subject when to that, obviously i should have high quality security systems to protect this data. the number of mental health apps we have today is absurd. we usually don't know how good the quality is just to learn how secure they all got. you know, one really knows how these models have been trained and what implicit biases they might perpetuate. many companies mock at the eps, for mental well being rather than mental health. that's to get around regulations for mental health services. but when it comes to health, privacy ends data security, particularly important study vitamins,

the foundation found with its 19 out of 32 popular mental health eps. do not protects use this privacy quite the opposite. they were found to track and store use this private information, in some cases, even passing it on to at the times this dangerous advice and inadequate data protection. if you do use an a i therapy app, make sure you know about the risk human therapist on the go years of training and the subject to strict controls. the same cannot always be set about a i check box can be very helpful if they are used correctly. the big advantage of a i, chet books, is the immediacy in times of crisis. it is a huge benefit not to be tied to a location or appointments, and so on. the eps make psychological support accessible. this is especially true for people who struggle with stigmatization and health care. a study of over 100000

a psychologist and wayne, who might prefer or sufficient intelligence such yourself. but that will come a point when a i can no longer help for now at least 12 minutes. nobody want. so hey, i can really help us with our mental health problems, but it isn't the answer. more of an alternative. what do you think? would you trust a chip bought with your issues or is that a no go for you? let us know with the comments. that's it for me. see you next time. the you have some experience and 9. the energy of such as the makes the solution. be
