Intelligent Telepsychiatry Anywhere: Suture's AI-Driven Platform, Created to Evolve Online Therapy, Aims to Reduce Waiting Time and Improve Treatment

IRVINE, Calif., Feb. 19, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- One in five people around the world will suffer from a mental health disorder in their lifetime. Despite this troubling number, the percentage of people who will seek treatment remains in the single digits. A new company, Suture, ( http://suture.io/ ), looks to address this societal stigma through enabling every person the convenient ability to talk about their mental problems without fear, securing easier and faster access to a qualified provider.

Using an innovative AI Matching Algorithm and AI Chatbot, Suture's data platform can help you find the psychiatrist whose specialties are a better match for your mental health symptoms. You will be able to easily choose your psychiatrist based on their profile, education, expertise, experience/certifications and their location from a provided list of matched psychiatrists, order prescriptions, and track your overall health.

The team behind Suture consulted with psychiatrists for every phase of design to create a platform that will give psychiatrists the tools to treat patients that were previously unreachable for a variety of reasons.

"There isn't anybody out there who doesn't have a mental health condition or knows someone who does, whether it's depression, anxiety, or how to cope with stress. With Suture, people won't have to go through multiple endeavors to see their psychiatrist. It allows a patient to connect directly to a therapist based on their own needs," Suture Co-Founder and CEO Dinesh Bangara said.

Co-Founder and CTO Karthik Rajamony also stressed the importance of providing accessible care and reducing the stigma often associated with having to physically visit a psychiatrist's office for treatment.

"It's not easy for someone to talk or get help about their mental issues, especially when there is limited access to a qualified psychiatrist. We intended for Suture to give people ability to attend their therapy session at the comfort of their own home, or wherever they may be with their mobile device," Rajamony said.
