Facebook has made Woebot , a mental health support chatbot, available to users of its Messenger instant messaging service. The tool, created by America -based Woebot , uses cognitive behavioural therapy techniques to help reframe the negative thoughts and feelings that accompany anxiety and depression. Woebot Labs isn't designed to replace traditional therapy but can help users "learn more about how they function in the world with these emotions and thoughts”, according to Woebot Labs CEO Dr Alison Darcy . As a counter-example, the AI-powered patient engagement chatbots from Conversa overlay clinical conversation modules with internal data from their health systems customers as well as data collection platform Validic. The service is available for a seven days free trial and costs $ 39 a month after that.
