Tufts Medicine partnered with Synchronous Health, a behavioral health digital platform, to increase patient access to certified therapists.
Synchronous Health offers telehealth sessions with mental health specialists, which will improve the one- to three-month wait time that kids experiencing crises have faced at Burlington, Mass.-based Tufts Medicine, according to an Aug. 8 press release from Synchronous Health.
Additionally, the platform uses an artificial intelligence bot called Karla to provide 24/7 behavioral and mental health support to users, including personalized guidance, coping strategies and tailored resources determined by patients and their therapists.
