• Wysa at Davos

     

    Wysa was invited to moderate the discussion on Mental Health at Work at the World Economic Forum's Annual Meeting in Davos in January 2023.

     

    With over 500 million conversations, Wysa is in a unique position to bring the voice of the user into global forums as they discuss approaches to the worsening mental health crisis.

     

    This year, we launched the Employee Mental Health Report 2023, based on insights drawn from the analysis of 150,000 anonymous conversations with employees from 60 countries across the world. It is one of the largest observational studies of it's kind and is the start of Wysa's initiative to bring the voice of global users to the main platforms of change in the world.

     

  • Global Employee Mental Health Report

     

    As of 2022, mental health concerns contribute to the highest disease burden in the general population and the linkage between psychosocial risk factors at work and stress-related disorders is clear. In Wysa’s ‘All Worked Up’ report, we heard employees describe barriers like stigma and lack of awareness, and why it is hard to reach out for help. Employers still have a lot of work to do to truly expand access to mental health at work.

     

    There is an absence of global data on employee mental health, with most analysis restricted to developed countries. Even in those reports, the voice of the employee is notable in its absence. This report hopes to address this gap, and build the economic case for adding AI as the first step of care.

  • Innovation for SDGs: AI for Mental Health

     

    When: Thursday, 19th January, 9:30 am CET

    Where: Ideas Hub + Livestreamed Online

     

    Wysa has been selected as one of the World's 10 Top Innovators to present how its work is having an impact on the global mental health challenge at the Innovation for SDG session during the Annual Meeting at Davos.

     

    Wysa will make the global case for AI as a preventative and first step of care in mental health. We will present the global need level, and how Wysa removes the barriers to access and is clinically evidenced to deliver impact at scale.

  • Meet our Founder

    “Finding the answer to a globally pervasive and ever growing problem requires a radically different approach. Existing systems are deeply embedded, particularly in healthcare, and it is easier to be a part of their ‘innovation tourism’ than a column in their procurement. This is not enough. The cost of poor mental health is debilitating for families, employers and national economies. During this time of global recession following the pandemic, loss of life and loss of income means this cost is growing; contributing to a negative spiral that must be stopped. We will share our evidence and insights with World Economic Forum leaders who share our mission, and have the power to deliver solutions that change things for the better, on a massive scale.”

    Unicef Panel Debate

    Wysa joins leaders Gary Shaughnessy, Zurich Foundation, Carla Haddad Mardini, UNICEF Director, Murali Doraiswamy, Professor of Psychiatry.

     

    This panel of mental health leaders will discuss initiatives that are working to reduce stigma, programmes that are supporting mental health outcomes and best practices for leveraging new technologies.

     

    Globally, more than 1 in 7 adolescents is estimated to live with a diagnosed mental health disorder. There is clear urgency for communities to prioritise mental health and for businesses to help scale up investments in mental health prevention and promotion.
