EASIER ACCESS TO THERAPY: Representatives from Talkspace say on their website that they believe online therapy really is effective if done by qualified individuals, as research suggests, yet they don't consider it a substitute for offline therapy.
Now that more and more healthcare services are available at the click of a mouse, IMB's Watson supercomputer is taking things one step farther, now bringing its skills to an app that matches individuals to the therapist that's right for them.
Prospective patients chat anonymously in the app called Talkspace and reach a network of over 200 licensed therapists specialising in a variety of problems ranging from depression, anxiety and stress to relationships and parenting struggles.
