Scalable Care - GritX Implementation

Scalable Care collaborated with the UCSF Langley Porter Psychiatric Institute to create a digital mental health application for teenagers and young adults called GritX. GritX is an emotionally intelligent chatbot that understands human emotions, intent, and context to deliver evidence-based psychoeducation and interactive wellness tools. It gives patients access to digital mental health resources anytime and anywhere, helping to alleviate care gaps between appointments and while new patients are waiting to see their providers.

Powered by natural language processing, GritX simulates real conversation, responds to users’ messages with comments and questions similar to what one would receive in a human facilitated therapy session, and directs users to appropriate resources that will further promote wellness and personal growth by offering scientifically proven tools to manage emotions, develop relationships, increase emotional intelligence, and cultivate resiliency.
