Panda - We're on a mission to democratize mental health care

Food, exercise and sleep has a significant impact on your physical health. Mental health works the same way, but has limited proactive options. Panda is the gym for your emotional well-being, with practical and proven proactive options for mental fitness.

@rohitjoshi thanks Rohit! The backstory of the name is that Allan (our Chief Science Officer and Cofounder) used to always reference a book called "freeing the bears" when he was in private practice. He used to think about helping his patients free their inner bears. We loved this concept and we thought of Panda as an offshoot from here! I look forward to your feedback!

Congratulations on the launch! Great choice in choosing the logo and name. #MentalHealthPanda I was just curious, do you also have different features/offerings for people of different ages or professions? and similarly, different offering to tackle different mental health issues ?

@mjt_singh thanks for the support Manjot and I am glad you like the name. The core offering is focused on live sessions. We have close to 24 hours of live sessions so I do believe that there are sessions that cater to the different needs of different age groups and professions. We also have asynchronous content, AI-coaching and assessments so I do believe that there is enough available in our app to cater to all demographics and to provide support to those dealing with different mental health issues.

@alex_dulub thanks Alex - we really appreciate it and I look forward to your feedback once you have had a chance to check out the app.

Just the name and branding are already putting me back on track :D Is there a system in place to regulate whether the information is verified or does it rely on users to make their own judgments?

@nikola_ognjanovic Thanks so much Nikola. Our data is verified by our clinical team and is based on scientific principles. I'd be happy to engage further - please connect on LinkedIn or send through an email to help@joinpanda.com

Congrats for the launch! A common topic about mental health (and health in general) related apps is user data privacy and security. What are your mesures to ensure those with Panda?
Alon Lits

@julienergan Hi Julien - we are SOC 2 and HIPPA compliant. The only personally identifiable information that users share with us is email addresses. You can check out more information here - https://www.joinpanda.com/securi... - but in short - security is of the highest importance to us.

Hi Alon, Congratulations on the launch of Panda! It's awesome to see a platform that promotes proactive mental health care. Your features, especially the group sessions and tailored assessments, sound great. Panda is also my fav animal:) I'm curious about one thing: Who are the professionals leading the group sessions, and what qualifications do they have? Again, congrats!!
Alon Lits
Maker
@julesfyt thanks Jules - the hosts are mostly registered mental health professionals with a wide range of qualifications. There are also "peer" hosts who have no formal qualification but lived experience which is relevant to the subject (for eg - We offer support groups for parents with children on the Autism spectrum and the hosts are often parents of children on the spectrum). Finally, we have AI monitoring sessions for any high-risk behaviour and this automatically triggers a warning on our end and a member of community safety team will investigate. Thanks for the question.
Jules Essen
@alon_lits Appreciate the insight! It's reassuring to know that your hosts come from diverse backgrounds, including peer hosts with personal experience. The AI monitoring for safety is a great feature. Keep up the good work with Panda!
