La Administración de Alimentos y Medicamentos (FDA), designó a Wysa, software de Inteligencia Artificial (IA) y salud mental, como un dispositivo innovador.

Wysa es una compañía especializada en el apoyo en salud mental a través de técnicas de IA conversacional.  Recientemente recibió una designación innovadora por parte de la FDA en sus servicios de Digital Health y salud mental, específicamente el que involucra a pacientes con diagnóstico de dolor musculoesquelético crónico, depresión y ansiedad.

The FDA's Breakthrough Device Program is crucial to accelerating the development and approval of new medical devices and products that support the diagnosis and treatment of life-threatening diseases.

Wysa's bot has been trained to deliver cognitive behavioral therapy, which is delivered via smartphone.

The study aimed to compare changes in participants' mental health over two months. Results showed that patients who received digital mental health interventions as part of orthopedic care achieved improvements in pain, physical function, and depression.

“Estamos encantados de lograr esta designación significativa de la FDA y esperamos trabajar estrechamente con la Agencia para continuar el desarrollo de la terapia cognitiva conductual basada en la IA”, explicó, Jo Aggarwal, CEO y cofundador de Wysa. Además, explicó que la misión de la compañía es proporcionar diversas opciones de salud mental y además hacerlo con una plataforma que siempre está disponible.
