Therapeer

Inspiration

Finding therapists who accept insurance can be a daunting task. Psychologists, social workers, and psychiatrists who don't accept insurance say that insurers' reimbursement rates are too low. [1] Ethnic minorities struggle further to find a culturally competent therapist.

What it does

Therapeer matches patients with therapists using sentiment analysis, along with their demographic information. First, the patient records their feelings and thoughts. This recording is analyzed and sent back to the patient with results. which display the individual's emotion and, based on the sentiment analysis, receive a match with a therapist who could help. The patient has the option to call or chat with the therapist to provide both, synchronous and asynchronous modes of treatment. Additionally, Therapeer uses micro-transactions to let the patient pay for their therapy session dependent on the session's duration, rather than a fixed rate. This can significantly reduce the expenses incurred when paying out of pocket.
