Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear.   I’m Fred Fishkin.        A companion robot designed for mental health.    24 year old inventor Jacob Boyle…says his struggles with depression in high school and college…and the problems faced by friends…led him to a career change.   He left an engineering job with a defense contractor…and worked with a team of experts on counselling to create MARCo. ..a smart little robot designed for interaction..

“We try to enable long conversations first…so similar to what you might have with a friend. You’re able to go on at length, as much as you want, about what’s going on with your life and MARCo leverages AI to what thoughts, feelings and behaviors are affecting you the most in that instant.”

And then provide personalized care with full privacy protection.    You can find more info and videos at www.marcohealthtech.com.
