Extending Therapist Care Between Sessions with an AI-Powered Mental Health Companion
Always-On AI Support for Continuous Mental Healthcare
Project Overview
Therapists supporting clients through structured care programs often struggle to maintain meaningful patient engagement between sessions. CORA was developed as a therapist-configured AI companion to extend care continuity, automate homework delivery, and support Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) at scale without increasing clinical headcount.
Key Achievements
Reduced therapist administrative burden and increased session-to-session value
Improved homework adherence and patient engagement between therapy visits
Scalable support model for EAPs and enterprise wellbeing programs
Always-on structure and reassurance for clients no waiting for the next session

The Challenge
Therapists lacked tools to maintain meaningful patient engagement between sessions. Homework adherence, check-ins, and treatment continuity relied entirely on manual effort, leading to support gaps that slowed patient progress and reduced retention. Scaling support for Employee Assistance Programs required massive human bandwidth that was unavailable
The Solution
Therapist-Configured Care Plans
Therapists set up treatment plans, exercises, and check-in schedules through the configuration portal
Automated Homework Delivery
CBT worksheets, journaling prompts, and mindfulness exercises are delivered on schedule automatically
24/7 AI Companion Engagement
CORA provides always-on encouragement, check-ins, and structured guidance outside office hours
Progress Visibility & Reporting
Milestone and engagement tracking surfaces insights for clients, therapists, and EAP programs
Results
Key Results
• Therapy session value increased through between-session continuity
• Homework adherence improved with automated, timely delivery
• Scalable EAP support without additional clinical headcount
• Patients reported feeling supported and connected between sessions
Impact Summary
CORA transformed care continuity by enabling therapists to extend their impact beyond the session. By combining AI-driven engagement with therapist-guided structure, CORA improved patient outcomes, reduced administrative burden, and provided a scalable platform for enterprise wellbeing programs
Looking Ahead
CORA's modular architecture supports expansion into corporate wellness, chronic disease management, and multilingual EAP programs. Integration with clinical EHR systems and outcome benchmarking are on the roadmap
