The science behind Woebot  

Who do you think you are?

We are psychologists who built programs and tools in the clinic. We worked at Stanford for over 10 years. 我们是在诊所里建立程序和工具的心理学家。我们在斯坦福工作了10多年。

We love helping people & behavioral science (so much so we’ve been doing it for 20 years). 我们喜欢帮助别人和行为科学(我们已经做了20年了)

So why leave the clinic?

Because the sad truth is that more than half of the world’s population still doesn’t have access to basic health care. For many more, mental health care is not an option. 因为可悲的事实是，世界上一半以上的人口仍然无法获得基本的卫生保健。对更多的人来说，精神卫生保健不是一个选择。

So we asked ourselves, “what tools can we use to help?” 所以我们问自己，“我们可以用什么工具来帮助他们?”

“Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) of course!” “当然是认知行为疗法(CBT) !”

Don’t you need a therapist?

Not always. There’s 20+ years of rigorous research to show that DIY CBT works. CBT delivered via the Internet (and even video games!)1 can be as effective as therapist-delivered CBT for both anxiety and depression.不总是正确的。有20多年的严谨研究证明DIY CBT是有效的。通过网络(甚至视频游戏)传递的CBT在治疗焦虑和抑郁方面可以和治疗师传递的CBT一样有效。

Most studies show that people do better with some coaching. Coaching is not the same as therapy: coaches redirect to relevant material but people still need to do the work themselves. 大多数研究表明，接受过一些指导的人会做得更好。指导不同于治疗:指导转向相关的材料，但人们仍然需要自己去做。

So what did you do?

We brought in storytellers, data scientists, engineers, and designers to combine their love of writing stories, AI, and robots with the intention of creating a companion (Woebot!) who can help people with their mental health.我们请来了讲故事的人、数据科学家、工程师和设计师，把他们对写故事、人工智能和机器人的热爱与创造一个可以帮助人们心理健康的伙伴(Woebot!)的意图结合起来。

But before launching Woebot publicly, we wanted to make sure he could truly help people so we did a randomized controlled trial…但在公开发布Woebot之前，我们想确保它能真正帮助人们，所以我们做了一个随机对照试验……
