A Robotic Mental-Health Companion
MARCo Health aims to combat the mental-health crisis through its flagship therapeutic robot, “MARCo” — the Mental-Health Assisting Robot Companion.
This robot was built to give those struggling with depression, anxiety, and feelings of isolation 24/7 access to their own private, personalized care. MARCo uses Artificial Intelligence to learn about and converse with their patients. Forms of care given include companionship, biofeedback, talk support, guided meditation, and high-alert outreach.
MARCo Health has been granted patents for its technology and achieved more than $27,000 in sales.
