Wysa Unveils Wysa Copilot to Elevate Mental Health Therapy with AI

Hybrid AI-Human Therapy Platform Enhances Patient Engagement 

Wysa, the global leader in AI-driven mental health support, is proud to announce the launch of Wysa Copilot, its cutting-edge Hybrid Digital and Human Therapy Platform. Selected by Talking Therapy services within the UK’s National Health Service (NHS), Wysa Copilot is designed to enhance clinical care by seamlessly integrating AI and human support, offering secure, real-time and asynchronous messaging, personalized digital tools, and automated patient tracking.

Wysa Copilot aims to address key challenges faced by mental health services, including increasing patient engagement, efficient tracking of therapeutic progress, and the prevention of relapse. This solution allows clinicians to extend their reach beyond in-session therapy by providing patients with safe, interactive, AI-guided tools and personalized support.

Nicole Main, Clinical Lead at Wysa said: “Wysa Copilot allows clinicians and patients to communicate with each other easily, quickly and effectively. The AI helps to contain and manage risk as well as providing patients with a listening ear 24/7. Prescribed exercises and audios are easy for patients to access and twice daily check-ins by Wysa helps them stay engaged and motivated in working towards recovery. We are excited to see how the platform impacts services.”

Key Features and Benefits for Clinicians:

1. Engaging Digital Tools: Therapists can search for and prescribe AI-guided cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) tools and psychoeducational materials, empowering patients to manage their mental health symptoms between sessions. Clinicians can monitor progress through the completion of these exercises, allowing for the creation of personalized treatment plans tailored to the patient’s needs.
2. Secure, Real-Time Messaging: Wysa Copilot enables therapists and patients to communicate securely through live text-based therapy or asynchronous messages. This ensures continuous care and attention to patient needs, while providing the flexibility to address issues as they arise between scheduled appointments.
3. AI-Driven Crisis Detection: AI monitors patient interactions for signs of crisis and encourages users to seek immediate help through emergency lines if necessary. This additional layer of safety is integrated within both the Wysa app and Wysa Copilot, enhancing crisis prevention and ensuring timely intervention.
4. Automated Assessments and Progress Tracking: Automated assessments and mood screenings reduce clinician workload, while keeping a detailed screening history. This ensures patients receive appropriate treatment at the right time, allowing therapists to focus on providing care rather than managing administrative tasks.
5. Seamless Collaboration and Patient Transfers: Patients and clinicians can set recovery goals, add tasks, and share session summaries, promoting a collaborative therapeutic relationship. Wysa Copilot allows seamless patient transfer of Wysa case history, ensuring continuity of care and preventing any delay in treatment.
6. Relapse Prevention and Post-Discharge Support: Patients can continue to use Wysa’s self-help tools after discharge, helping them maintain their mental health and reduce the risk of relapse. This feature provides long-term benefits for patients even after formal therapy concludes.
7. Anonymity and a Safe Space for Patients: Wysa’s secure platform fosters openness, allowing patients to engage in difficult conversations with the AI chatbot. With patient consent, clinicians can review these interactions, enabling a deeper understanding of the patient.
8. Increased Clinical Capacity: With Wysa Copilot, each therapist can manage larger caseloads effectively, thanks to automated workflows, and the AI helping to ensure self-regulation for the patient in between sessions.

“We are thrilled to introduce Wysa Copilot to clinical practices, bridging the gap between digital and human therapy,” said Smriti Joshi, Wysa’s Chief of Clinical Operations. “This platform is the result of five years of development and over 125,000 hours of human coaching, designed to empower therapists with a comprehensive, hybrid solution that enhances patient engagement and therapeutic outcomes.”

Wysa Copilot is now available to large practices, offering a scalable, innovative solution that transforms how mental health services are delivered.
