Wysa Receives FDA Breakthrough Device Designation for AI-led Mental Health Conversational Agent

The FDA Breakthrough Device Designation follows an independent peer-reviewed clinical trial, published in JMIR, that found Wysa to be effective in the management of chronic pain, and associated depression and anxiety. The device was found to be more effective than standard orthopedic care, and comparable to in-person psychological counseling.

Research at Wysa

Our behavioural health evidence consists of independent clinical trials that have sought to examine the solution with scientific rigor, and through the lens of real-world implementation. The studies are strongly guided by the voice of the user through co-design and qualitative methodologies, and document our work across clinical concerns of depression, anxiety, pain and chronic conditions.

Peer-Reviewed Research

Wysa has more than 36 peer-reviewed publications in partnership with academic institutions such as Cambridge University, Harvard University and Washington University of St. Louis amongst others, demonstrating the efficacy of Wysa across multiple clinical concerns.
