AI Mental Health Service "Dr. Avatar" Launched for Businesses

AI mental health Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Mayumi Kubo) has launched "Dr. Avatar," an AI mental health service for businesses.

"Dr. Avatar" is a service that enables employees to naturally interact with AI via smartphones or PCs to capture daily mental changes, leading to the understanding of individual conditions and analysis of overall organizational trends. It aims to support the realization of preventive and continuous mental healthcare by enabling early detection of signs of distress that were difficult to grasp with conventional stress checks and consultation services, and by connecting AI conversational support that reflects expert knowledge and improvements in corporate measures, rather than just visualizing issues.

It should be noted that this service is not intended to provide medical acts, diagnoses, treatments, or counseling, but rather to help employees become aware of changes in their mental state and connect them to necessary consultations and support.

Background of Development

In recent years, employee mental health measures in companies have become increasingly important from the perspective of human capital management and health management. However, even with the introduction of existing visualization tools and consultation services, challenges remain, such as difficulty in grasping employee changes, measures becoming a mere formality, responses tending to occur only after distress becomes apparent, and psychological hurdles to using consultation services.

"Dr. Avatar" was developed to address these challenges by providing an easy-to-use AI conversational experience as an entry point, aiming for early detection of mental changes and the formation of concrete support pathways.

Features of "Dr. Avatar"

1. Provides an easy-to-use entry point for continuous use through natural conversations with AI

Employees can start conversations with AI from their smartphones or PCs. It does not require special operations or difficult input, and can be used like everyday conversation, thereby lowering psychological hurdles for consultation and self-checks, leading to continuous use.

2. Visualizes mental changes through daily conversations

"Dr. Avatar" continuously grasps changes in individual conditions through conversations with AI, leading to an understanding of overall organizational trends. It is designed to capture signs of change from natural conversations, rather than directly asking employees to "report their status."

3. AI conversational support reflecting expert knowledge

This service builds its AI conversation design and response process based on the specialized knowledge and practical wisdom in mental health support from Dr. Yuta Aoki, a psychiatrist and Ph.D. (Medicine). As initial support after visualization, AI accompanies employees through conversations and assists in forming consultation pathways.

4. Comprehensive support from organizational improvement to KPI design

"Dr. Avatar" not only provides individual support but also offers organizational trend reports for HR and labor managers, KPI design for each company, implementation design, and integration design with existing measures. It can be used in conjunction with existing EAP, stress checks, industrial physician interviews, etc., supporting the improvement of the effectiveness of corporate mental health measures.

Services Offered

Target Companies

This service targets all companies committed to employee mental health care. It is particularly suitable for companies that feel challenges with the formalization of existing measures, the utilization rate of consultation services, support pathways after stress checks, and preventive mental health measures. It is expected to be widely adopted by companies of all sizes, from small and medium-sized enterprises to large corporations.

In employee mental health support, it is crucial to detect small daily changes early and connect them to appropriate support, rather than responding only after distress becomes apparent.

It supports corporate mental health measures from both individual accompaniment and organizational improvement, rather than just visualizing issues.
