Alera

Millions of people wait months, sometimes up to a year, for a therapy spot and remain without help during this time. Alera bridges this waiting period with a virtual psychotherapist who offers individual support using psychological techniques. A specially designed, anonymized data room optimizes the AI specifically for psychotherapeutic conversations. This provides early relief for those affected and can reduce the worsening of mental illnesses.
