Fortis Healthcare has revealed an application designed to assist individuals dealing with mental health issues. The application, named ‘Adayu Mindfulness,’ harnesses the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to provide comprehensive support to users.
The managing director and CEO of Fortis Healthcare, Ashutosh Raghuvanshi, highlighted the company’s dedication to integrating mental health services into mainstream healthcare.
The launch of Adayu Mindfulness represents a significant step towards achieving this goal, with the incorporation of AI technology through a partnership with ‘United We Care.’
Raghuvanshi emphasized that the collaboration aims to revolutionize the accessibility of mental health services by offering comprehensive care at the touch of a button. He described the initiative as not just a technological advancement but also a movement towards destigmatizing mental health issues and improving care availability across Bharat.
Adayu Mindfulness, the newly introduced vertical, is dedicated to providing holistic mental health care solutions. Dr. Samir Parikh, a consultant psychiatrist and chairperson of the Fortis National Mental Health Program, highlighted the pressing need for mental wellness solutions in Bharat.
He cited statistics indicating a significant mental health burden in the country, compounded by stigma and a shortage of mental health experts.
The platform offers users an AI-powered self-assessment tool to gain insights into their mental health status. This tool, administered by a virtual wellness coach named Stella, provides personalized assessments to users.
In addition, Adayu Mindfulness connects individuals with a range of mental health professionals, including psychiatrists, psychologists, sports therapists, yoga experts, art-based therapy providers, and physiotherapists.
By reducing wait times and geographical barriers, the platform aims to make mental health support more accessible to individuals who are in need.
Fortis Healthcare’s launch of Adayu Mindfulness signifies a commitment to merging innovation and AI with clinical excellence to foster awareness and improve access to mental health care in Bharat.
