Digital humans, whether cloned or uniquely created, are designed with the best of humanity in mind. One of those elements is through the embodiment of conversational AI. Digital humans have a unique capability of building emotional connections with people, which leads to rapport and the creation of trust. In fact, a recent Oracle survey of over 12,000 employees found that 82% of people believe AI can support their mental health better than humans. 68% stated they preferred to speak to AI versus their manager about stress and anxiety at work.
Mentemia’s personalized digital wellbeing coach merges machine-learning and AI with human-like qualities and interactions to offer engaging, empathetic, meaningful conversation and advice to users. Available to premium users, individuals can engage and interact with DJK, which is able to leverage current and previous conversations to offer personalized advice, suggestions and tactics to help users home in on what is and isn’t working for them. The digital coach can even encourage people to seek out a professional mental health specialist when needed.
