Youper was founded by psychiatrist Jose Hamilton with the intention of providing users easy and early access to mental healthcare before conditions are exacerbated, thus leading to anxiety or depression. It is an AI-based chatbot that helps users improve their emotional health through personalized chats. Youper also helps users apply behavioral coping skills and monitors their mental health symptoms. The service does not provide a diagnosis, treatment, medical care or other professional services provided by psychiatrists. The app has been downloaded more than one million times as of June 2019. Users can access some features free of charge and subscribe to access premium features.
In June 2019, Youper raised USD 3 million in a seed round from Goodwater Capital. The funds are to be used to improve its AI capabilities and grow its user base.
