Happy @ Uni Fribourg? Exploring Digital Tools for Mental Health: From Apps to AI Companions

Technological tools in mental health—ranging from traditional apps to AI-supported companions—are increasingly used as low-threshold support during times of emotional strain. The market is booming, with thousands of mental health apps available, yet only a small fraction are scientifically validated or clinically appropriate.

At the same time, people are turning to technologies not originally designed for emotional purposes—such as ChatGPT or platforms like Character.AI, where one of the most popular chat personalities is called “the Psychologist.”

In this interactive session, students are invited to explore the interface between technology and mental health in an open, non-judgmental, and reflective environment under expert guidance. Participants will test selected systems, share experiences, and learn about the potentials and pitfalls of digital tools for supporting mental well-being.
