IBM Collaborates With Talkspace

IBM Corporation has decided to work with online counselling application, 'Talkspace', and its supercomputer, 'Watson', would help find therapists.

‘International Business Machines Corporation’ has decided to enter the field of therapy. IBM news reported that the corporation is working with the online therapy platform, Talkspace. Its supercomputer, Watson, would help users to choose the best available therapist, which indicates that the corporation is interested in solving the mental problems of its users. One could say that this new initiative has the potential to improve the lives of many people who have been diagnosed for mental disorders.

IBM news today informed that Talkspace is capable of catering to the psychological demands of more than 45,000,000 mental patients, which indicate the high capacity of the digital tool. The platform permits users to transfer an unlimited number of unknown messages to a therapeutic expert through the web or an IOS application.

The organization's pioneered computer, IBM Watson, would support the therapeutic application while it tries to find what it thinks would be a good mental expert to suit its users’ needs. Experts presented the view that the online counselor would conduct an analysis of the received information.

The analysis would then help the network comprehend user’s thinking style and emotional stability. It is probable that the analytical findings of the mental examiner would help solve personality issues. IBM Breaking news affirmed that the corporation’s device could evaluate the received messages that could later be used to provide clinical feedback during initial therapeutic sessions. Psychological experts believe that such a feedback could develop a relationship between the patient and the online counselor.

The management of the psychological application has stated that it would use the corporation’s natural language processing technology to develop a system that would not only teach itself but also aid the decision making process through which the concerns of mental patients are addressed.

It is most likely that this collaboration would help the organization progress in the field of cognitive computing. Market sources have revealed that it would also support cognitive insights for travel site, Go Moment, healthcare network, Epic, and web analytics firm, Decibel. This report tells us that the company is interested in diversifying its services.

The senior vice president of IBM Watson, Mike Rhodin, has stated that this co-operation has helped the company to enter new and interesting fields. It is expected that partnership between the company and the therapeutic website would solve a number of mental problems.

IBM is not new to the healthcare field as it has previously worked to gather medical information. Now it is yet to be seen that to what extent this initiative would serve the interests of mental users.
