Takalam, a leading innovator in mental health technology, and Inception, a pioneer in AI development, are thrilled to announce a transformative partnership aimed at enhancing the mental health care experience for Arabic-speaking users. This collaboration will fine-tune and leverage Jais, the world’s most advanced and performant Arabic language AI model, to provide more personalized and culturally relevant therapeutic care.
The partnership focuses on optimizing JAIS’ capabilities to replace traditional questionnaires with an intuitive conversational AI system. This breakthrough will allow therapists to capture user data in a more natural and insightful way. Developed by Inception, A G42 company, JAIS will empower mental health professionals to obtain deeper, more nuanced information from users, thus improving the quality of care from the initial interaction.
The collaboration brings numerous benefits to mental health care, including more efficient and detailed user screening processes. By refining Jais for the mental health sector, this partnership will help therapists develop more accurate diagnoses and informed treatment plans. Automating the secure data acquisition process will also reduce administrative tasks, giving therapists more time to focus on direct user care. Additionally, the enhanced Arabic language capabilities of Jais will offer users a culturally sensitive and individualized mental health experience, reducing operational costs by streamlining workflows and minimizing the time spent on manual data entry.
Khawla Hammad, Founder and CEO of Takalam, stated, “By harnessing the power of JAIS, we are creating a more technology enabled, personalized, and culturally sensitive approach to mental health care. This partnership allows us to provide deeper, more meaningful insights into each individual’s experience, ensuring they receive the care that truly resonates with their unique needs and background.”
Dr. Andrew Jackson, CEO of Inception, “This collaboration between Takalam and Inception marks a significant step forward in applying artificial intelligence within mental health care. With JAIS’ fine-tuned capabilities at the forefront, this partnership will set new standards for care delivery, focusing on privacy, improved outcomes, reduced costs, and enriched user experiences. It also underscores the importance of culturally suitable mental health care for Arabic-speaking communities.”
