Company Info
Company Description
Bonfire offers mental health screening for workers and their families from their phones in seconds. It's much better than online questionnaires or physical screening, because it's faster, offers instant reliable results and triages to treatments automatically. Anyone can screen anonymously. It kind of combines the best of facial, speech and text recognition and make it available for an average household. Research labs have access to these tools but normal people don't. There are lots of interesting use cases. One is embedding this into smart mirrors, glasses and monitors, making mental health screening more accessible in places that's hard to build hospitals or clinics. Another is to underwrite new mental health insurance products with the data collected from screening; something many insurers lack and consumers are demanding for.
