Claudia Hammond talks to Stanford University researcher Alison Darcy, who has created Woebot - an artificially intelligent chatbot designed to treat depression. Woebot, uses cognitive-behavioural therapy and is available via Facebook messenger. Alison explains how it works and that it's not a replacement for traditional therapy, but it's the first tech based treatment to have been properly scientifically tested and peer reviewed. First broadcast on All in the Mind, 1 November 2017.
