en.Wedoany.com Reported - Talkspace launches Tee, a large language model dedicated to mental health, featuring real-time clinical supervision and risk identification capabilities.
Talkspace (NASDAQ: TALK), an online behavioral health service provider, announced the launch of a large language model named Tee. Developed by mental health experts and finely tuned, the model offers HIPAA-level privacy protection. Tee can identify ten types of mental health risk entities, including potential suicide risk, homicide or violence risk, abuse risk, and seven other categories. Tee is the first model of its kind to provide real-time supervision by licensed clinicians, with immediate human intervention by therapists when necessary.
Dr. Jon Cohen, CEO of Talkspace, stated that Tee represents a fundamentally different approach to AI in mental health. He noted that millions of users are already using AI to discuss highly personal issues, but most systems are not designed for this purpose. Tee offers a clinically safe alternative to general-purpose chatbots. Dr. Nikole Benders-Hadi, the company's Chief Medical Officer, said that the goal in building Tee was to integrate clinical rigor and human oversight into the experience, allowing clinicians to appropriately identify and escalate high-risk situations while ensuring conversations remain confidential and protected.
Tee provides 24/7 service to individuals aged 18 and older, offering a private, judgment-free space for real-time discussions on challenges such as stress, relationship issues, anxiety, or major life decisions. The model can remember past conversations, building continuity and self-awareness for patients, guiding them toward positive insights and steady progress. Tee offers a 7-day free trial, with a subsequent monthly subscription fee of $19.99.
