eQuoo with Silja Litvin

Welcome to The Mental Breakdown and Psychreg Podcast! Today, Dr Berney and Dr Marshall interview Ms. Silja Litvin, a clinical psychology doctoral student from Germany. A child of the digital generation, Silja was looking for ways to use apps and social media to help people suffering from mental issues. She went on to start a company (http://www.psycapps.com/) and created a psychological mobile app that helps users identify and self-manage depression. Building on this idea, she undertook her PhD thesis, thus ensuring it to be evidence based and ethically sound. Now she is venturing into the world of AI, gamification and chatbots to find a way to be able to help people help themselves, launching the beta of her emotional fitness game eQuoo (http://www.equoogame.com/) in New Zealand and Australia. eQuoo will be available on all mobile platforms in the United States and the United Kingdom in late May.

Be sure to follow Silja’s work through her personal website (http://www.siljalitvin.com), the eQuoo website (http://www.equoogame.com/), the PsycApps website (https://www.psycapps.com), on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvpkb8Lb7e2mwP39RVC6zHQ) and on Twitter (https://twitter.com/PsycApps).
