AI case study

Expand mental health access

by
Kenya Red Cross Society
Context

Kenya Red Cross worked with Pathways Technologies to develop an AI-powered mental health chatbot called Chat Care using Azure AI services. The chatbot initiates conversations on mental health, suggests ways to help such as breathing exercises and in-person services, operates in English and Swahili, and is available 24/7. It expands the reach of mental health services without overstretching human counselors and helps overcome stigma.
