WHO recognizes mental health as a fundamental human right and emphasizes the need for comprehensive, accessible, and quality mental health services. However, access to quality care remains a major challenge for many, including entrepreneurs. Fortunately, innovative startups are harnessing the power of AI to bridge this gap and provide scalable solutions for everyone's mental health.
Mental health is a major concern, especially in the demanding and often isolating world of startups. A founder's journey can be incredibly lonely, and the pressure to succeed can often take a toll on your mental health. Research shows that entrepreneurs are 50% more likely to report a mental health condition.
Google for Startups is proud to support these pioneers through our Growth Academy: AI for Health program in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. The initiative provides mentorship, resources, and a global network to help startups scale their impact and drive innovation in healthcare, including leveraging responsible AI to develop mental health products. We support you.
This World Mental Health Day, we're excited to introduce you to some of the exciting startups from our program that are using AI to transform mental health support and improve the daily lives of people around the world. Masu.
