Client: A mental healthcare provider network
Challenge: A mental healthcare organization sought to strengthen patient care beyond traditional therapy sessions. They faced several pressing challenges:
- Gaps in ongoing support: nearly 80% of patients felt anxious or uncertain between scheduled sessions, especially in the evenings or on weekends.
-
Resource constraints: The capability of therapists to respond to after-hours emergencies was limited, covering only about one-third of requests.
-
Interrupted treatment continuity: Patients, especially those recovering from addiction, experienced higher relapse rates due to the absence of timely support during critical moments.
-
Insufficient documentation: There were gaps in monitoring and addressing patient situations that emerged between therapy sessions, which limited timely interventions.
Solution: ZONE3000 developed an AI-powered digital companion / assistant system to provide continual support and early detection. Key components included:
-
An AI companion that could engage users 24/7 using natural language responses
-
Crisis detection logic: pattern recognition to flag early signs of distress and send alerts to therapists
-
Secure messaging and encrypted communication, ensuring privacy and compliance
-
A therapist dashboard / interface to input protocols, monitor alerts, and view patient context
