Affiniti AI

Project Enhancing Therapy Engagement for NHS Healthcare Workers with Personalised AI – A Feasibility and Acceptability Study
Description

Affiniti AI is a personalised mental health co-therapist that patients can access between therapy sessions via WhatsApp. It guides users through evidence-based techniques like thought records and behavioural experiments, helping them manage anxiety, low mood, and everyday stress. Therapists assign exercises and receive clear summaries of patient progress, making it easier to personalise treatment and track outcomes. This project will adapt Affiniti AI for use within NHS mental health services, aiming to improve therapy engagement, reduce symptoms, and extend support beyond traditional sessions—ultimately helping services deliver more effective, scalable care without increasing clinical workload.

Be Mindful Workplace is a digital mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) platform designed to support disabled individuals seeking employment by improving mental health, resilience, and job readiness.
