More and more people are going on social networks to share their problems and get emotional support.

At best, they get a little encouragement from their peers or strangers on the internet. However, it’s not unusual for posts like these to receive backlash or become ignored, creating even more emotional distress for the person who’s already feeling down.

But what if this was never the case? In this episode of HealthRedesigned, we chat with Robert Morris, Co-founder of Koko, an AI bot that crowdsources words of encouragement for anyone going through an emotionally difficult time. Through Koko, people can get advice and support anonymously to help them cope with their feelings and improve their mental wellbeing.
