The honor recognizes the Woebot Health Platform, which is built on a foundation of clinically proven techniques and infused with artificial intelligence (AI). The platform offers instantly accessible, chat-based, adjunctive mental health support and the tools and insights needed to enhance the care experience, automate the collection of population insights and increase provider efficiency. The award also recognizes Woebot, the digital companion at the heart of the platform that delivers personalized, in-the-moment support through chat-based conversations and techniques. Woebot's conversations are written by conversational writers using elements from evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), along with collaboration from clinical experts.

This year’s program attracted thousands of nominations from over 18 different countries throughout the world.
