Woebot Health provides a chat-based AI wellness tool designed to make mental health support accessible to all who need it. The conversational interface leverages natural language processing to interpret user inputs and deliver expert-crafted therapeutic techniques in real time. Woebot's conversations are written by conversational writers in collaboration with clinical experts, ensuring content is grounded in evidence-based practices such as cognitive behavioral therapy.
The platform is trained to detect concerning language during conversations. When potentially concerning language is identified, Woebot immediately offers users information about external crisis resources. This safety-first approach ensures users receive appropriate support in moments of distress. Woebot is not a crisis service but functions as a companion offering skills, tools, and techniques that support mental wellness.
Woebot Health treats all user data as protected health information under HIPAA, even when not legally required. The company maintains SOC 2 Type 2 certification with zero exceptions and secures sensitive data in dedicated environments with strict access controls. User privacy is a core commitment, and the company does not sell or share user data for advertising purposes.
The company's clinical approach is supported by rigorous research protocols. All studies are reviewed by an institutional review board, registered in advance, and published openly. This transparency reflects the company's dedication to scientific integrity and responsible innovation. Woebot Health's Safety Assessment Committee includes clinical, regulatory, and medical experts who evaluate data from trials and post-market consumer use.
