Our vision: For service users: Personalized experiences tailored to individual needs For practitioners: AI-powered tools to deliver safe, high-quality care at scale For healthcare systems: Predictive and responsive data-driven solutions We're committed to developing ethical AI that augments human expertise, not replaces it. Join us in exploring how we can harness the power of AI to create a brighter future for mental health care globally. #EthicalAI #MentalHealth #DigitalHealthcare #AIinHealthcare #FutureOfMentalHealth

Big day today for Kooth Digital Health (North America) as we launch our partnership with Aetna, a CVS Health Company Better Health of Illinois to make our mental wellbeing platform available to the youth Medicaid population. What excites and motivates me here is the opportunity to tackle the growing challenge of health inequality to make much needed mental health support available to everyone, regardless of income.

Mental health care demand has surged 38% since the pandemic. In this article from Forbes, written by Kooth CEO Tim Barker, an amplified message rings clear: conventional mental health isn’t enough. In today’s fast-paced world, young people face unprecedented stressors impacting their mental health–and more collaboration is needed across tech and public-private partnership to create change. At Kooth, we’ve partnered with the California Department of Health Care Services to provide comprehensive mental health support to ALL Californians ages 13 to 25 through Soluna, a free, safe, and anonymous mental health app.  Together, through strategic partnership and innovation, we can help address today’s mental health crisis and make mental health tools accessible to all. https://lnkd.in/gjWcNAMg
