Woebot Health
Athena Robinson, Ph.D., Chief Clinical Officer at Woebot Health and Adjunct Clinical Associate Professor at Stanford University
Woebot is a chat-based tool that helps people identify and cope with mental health challenges, including stress, anxiety and low mood. Woebot, which demonstrated a significant reduction in depression and anxiety symptoms after a two-week randomized controlled trial, asks people how they’re feeling and what is going on in their lives, then offers evidence-based tools tailored to their moment of need. Woebot’s newest program is the first fully built-out program of specially-crafted coronavirus content. Called “Perspective,” it contains content to inspire hope and encourage perspective taking, and Woebot’s hallmark guided meditations and strategies for dealing with grief, stress, and sadness.
