Youper is an AI-powered mental health assistant that uses tools and individualized, scientifically supported chats to help people manage stress, anxiety, and depression. Youper, which was founded in 2016 by Dr. Jose Hamilton Vargas, Diego Dotta, and Thiago Marafon, offers consumers real-time emotional support by integrating mood tracking, mindfulness, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).
The AI chatbot in the app leads users through therapeutic dialogues, assisting them in recognizing and controlling harmful thought patterns. Personalized insights, mindfulness activities, and mood tracking are among the features. According to a Stanford University study, Youper effectively lessens the symptoms of depression and anxiety.
Youper has a freemium business strategy, providing basic capabilities without charge and granting access to more tools and information through a paid membership. More than 3 million people have downloaded the app, which is accessible on both the iOS and Android operating systems.
