Abstract
This study demonstrates that emotional distress increased substantially during the pandemic, prompting the increased uptake of an artificial intelligence-led mental health app (Wysa), and also offers evidence that the Wysa app could support its users and its usage could result in a significant reduction in symptoms of anxiety and depression. This study also highlights the importance of contextualizing interventions and suggests that digital health interventions can provide large populations with scalable and evidence-based support for mental health care.
