E.M.M.A

- MENTAL HEALTH CHATBOT

E.m.m.a is a conversational agent designed to mimic a psychotherapist in order to provide emotional support to people with anxiety & depression. At its core, E.m.m.a is a chatbot trained on a text dataset using Deep Learning and Natural Language Processing techniques.

E.m.m.a can provide general advice regarding anxiety and depression, answer questions related to mental health and make daily conversations. E.m.m.a is obviously not a licensed physician, and it does not make diagnoses or write prescriptions. E.m.m.a offers help and support rather than treatment. E.m.m.a is not equipped to deal with real mental health crises either. When it senses someone is in trouble, it suggests they seek help in the real world and provides text and hotline resources. E.m.m.a doesn’t seek to remove the human element in therapy either but is rather a “gateway therapy,” to give people a good first experience, and even help them realise when they need a more intense form of intervention.
