Project description
Advanced chatbots to help people cope with anxiety and mild depression
In Europe, a quarter of the population suffers from depression or anxiety. It is also estimated that up to 50 % of chronic sick leaves is due to depression/anxiety. The EU-funded MENHIR project is researching conversational technologies to promote good mental health and assist with managing these conditions. The project’s chatbot technology is being developed to assist with around-the-clock support, personalized motivation, useful resources and coping strategies. It will process emotional and mood patterns from different aspects of the voice recorded and prompt with supportive messages and motivational reminders to follow action plans. This is considered beneficial for many people living with a mental ill health and struggling to cope with their symptoms alone.
