scientists. registration is free, 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 tickets for me while i was going through a time of important decisions, and i think the app helps 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, by the miraculous of it's 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 her can, was pulled out the day. that's like this can definitely the help desk of these cover see mean the cycle therapist specializes in the use of technology to improve mental health. well, and it's bobby nevada that can help in various ways. first,

work. that's an issue for them. and to employ, you could have found something, things even what depression has also been on the right. it's now the number one cause of sick leave and present. this shows that the situation has been lessening for several years now either then start guys moving toyota 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 everyday work life, many few that too busy and others are simply uncomfortable talking to colleagues and employers about it. but this brazilian company is looking to change. that's me know, things that have interest in pursuing to the all the conversations i have when something like this, you wouldn't believe that they was 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, it's strongly enough that would easily hold them in every way. nobody had

a solution. dissolving catalina, the fee has worked a lot 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 understand themselves and provide advice on dealing with difficult situations. the chief change for combust that we mainly focused on anxiety, depression, and the rest of the field. the most common disorders among them for eating supple issue, we cannot find action or illnesses such as like kind of disorder, all scripts of, for in the so that's not what it was made for the kind of diagnosis. it was made to hope the majority of people that think the i might have the specialist. the aim is to improve people's wellbeing. meditation exercises on use,

it can help. but if use a noticeably on the 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 fee, shows us. the data is anonymized and untraceable back to individual employees. anything goes headquarters, entity report has just 2 categories. you have an agenda on the age and of course with i cannot allow h all departments to identify why don't you think lots of companies asked for more categories such as the problem to region. and we lose the contract because we weren't provider. that hasn't happened since that we no longer work, which is our knowledge companies because they also 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? hey, 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 chuckled 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 a lack of quality control. in a i is only as good as it's training and datasets,

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 unlock yet very good at understanding nuances for, as in this case, distinguishing between a sporting activity and the suicide attempt. something a human therapist would easily notice. the wes national eating disorders

association. remove the ne, i check bought from its website in 2023 because it gave dangerous advice on weight loss and body mass index. the quality of the answers that it's a checkbox. gifts can vary enormously. of course, most a i models do have safe guards, but it is no uncommon appearance that they fail to a disastrous effect. shaquinta that actually it 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 used to. no one really knows how these models have been trained, and what implicit biases they might perpetuate. many companies mock at the eps for mental wellbeing rather than mental health. that's to get around regulations for mental health services. but when it comes to health, privacy and the date of security are particularly important, the study vitamins,

the foundation, found that 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 and the go years of training. and the subject to strict controls. the same cannot always be set about a i checkbox 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 in health care. a study of over 100000

patients from britain support this theory. the use of an a i chip up in the registration process significantly increase the number of referrals for cycle therapy. being crease was particularly significant among ethnic minorities, increasing 29 percent. and even more so among people who identify as mon, binary, and increase of a 1179 percent. last, i think also official intelligence has an illness potential in the field of mental health. and can also help many people who might would check the traditional therapy that shut out. in addition, in a therapy, bolts can be programmed to adapt precisely to individual needs. this is important because patients and therapist must be a good match. only then comes therapy be successful, affords a, i can not completely replace human psychologists. however, i was affected of course at an a. i can be a kind of co therapist for supposing a patient between therapy session, but it can help those who don't want to talk to

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 is a v 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. so you next time the we are back in kenya as capital of ne ruby. now this city has been the seeds of ongoing protests, initially started a guest,
