Sonia Description
Sonia is an AI-powered cognitive behavior therapist (CBT). Imagine a conversational therapy session but instead of talking to a human, you talk to an empathic phone voice. A large portion of the population today cannot afford therapy. Many people are prevented from receiving the treatment they need due to costs, stigma and a lack of mental health professionals in general. Sonia will be accessible to anyone with an Internet connection for just 1% of the current costs. Over 100 million Americans reside in areas where there is less than one therapist for every 30'000 residents. It is not a good idea to travel for hours just to get a therapy session. Sonia can be reached anywhere. Text sessions can be done in the bus, or even at home.
