Israeli company Eleos Health has developed AI tools to help therapists summarize patient sessions much more quickly and efficiently, freeing up time and attention for patients, according to reporting by Globes.
Eleos has already launched similar projects in English and Spanish, but the war showed that a Hebrew version was needed.
Eleos CEO and co-founder Alon Yoffe says that "until now, therapists went everywhere with a notebook, now they have a computer that automatically summarizes 80-90% of things immediately when the meeting ends...but the value is not just in saving time. Patients saw an improvement in symptoms, because therapists are much more present in the room. They don't need to write down everything or remember things."
The need for mental health treatment tools has become more acute since the massacre and the war, with exploding numbers of soldiers and civilians in need of help and treatment at various levels.
