A Note To Possible Investors
Americans are waiting too long to seek the help of mental health professionals. The iTherapy Project proposes a new technological tool that will shorten the time between the onset of a mental health disorder and the initiation of treatment.
According to a June 6, 2005 press release by the National Institute of Mental Health, the current median delay between the onset of a mental disorder and the beginning of treatment is nearly a decade. The study describes mental disorders as “the chronic diseases of the young,” because childhood anxiety evolves into adolescent mood disorders, which oftentimes results in more complicated problems later in life. When these individuals ultimately seek treatment, as 80 percent of those Americans with a mental disorder do, they have suffered needlessly due to the long waiting time. This study also relays that “the U.S. mental health care system is not keeping up with the needs of consumers and that improvements are needed to speed initiation of treatment.”
A new, more efficient method of reaching people with mental health struggles is necessary. The goal of iTherapy.com is to introduce inexperienced Americans to the concept of therapy while encouraging individuals to seek therapy earlier in disease development. Our company seeks to give everyone a “free sample” of personalized therapy. By removing financial, locational, and scheduling burdens, we expect to increase the number of individuals seeking psychological treatment. We are utilizing the same technologies currently being created to quicken customer service and technical support processes. Artificially intelligent chatbots oftentimes answer questions and help customers in need. Using a chatbot will turn the repetitive portion of therapy, namely patient screening and standardized testing, over to an automated tool. This will not replace hands-on service, but will be a low cost supplement to human therapy services. The iTherapy Project will profitably serve individuals that the mental health professional has previously been unable to reach.
The iTherapy.com team expects this venture to be financially successful. The chatbot will turn up a number of first-time therapy customers, including those new to therapy and those who wanted therapy but couldn't receive it. The target market will include elderly, immobile, youth, and rural customers. iTherapy.com, appeals to both experienced and first-time Internet users. Also, iTherapy.com will have a paid directory of therapists, therefore attracting professionals' buy-in.
