总部位于纽约市的Headspace为消费者提供了一个应用程序，该应用程序提供正念和心理健康工具，包括引导冥想和心理健康指导。它还为包括治疗和精神病学在内的企业提供服务。。

and not for those who have access to Headspace through their employer or health plan. A subscription costs about $13 a month or about $70 a year..

不适用于那些通过雇主或健康计划进入顶空的人。订阅费用约为每月13美元或每年70美元。。

Ebb is meant to support people through the “ebbs and flows of life,” according to the announcement. It uses a process called motivational interviewing, a methodology that helps people make positive behavioral changes. The feature does not provide mental health advice, guidance or diagnoses, but allows members to reflect and sort through their emotions..

“We developed Ebb because we’ve heard from our members that many want active self-reflection features within Headspace, and we believe in the power of conversational AI to help support this exercise,” said Matt Chester, clinical product manager and licensed psychologist at Headspace. “Regular self-reflection can be a tool for improved mental and emotional health.”.

Headspace的临床产品经理兼执业心理学家马特·切斯特（MattChester）表示：“我们之所以发展Ebb，是因为我们的成员们都希望在顶空中具有积极的自我反思功能，我们相信对话人工智能的强大功能可以帮助支持这一练习。”。“有规律的自我反思可以成为改善心理和情绪健康的工具。”。

Chester added that the company has heard from members that they often struggle to find the best mental health content for them. Ebb solves this by providing members with personalized recommendations for meditations, mindfulness activities and mental health content based on their current mood.

切斯特补充说，该公司从会员那里获悉，他们经常努力为自己找到最佳的心理健康内容。Ebb通过根据成员当前的情绪为他们提供冥想、正念活动和心理健康内容的个性化建议来解决这个问题。

Ebb was developed by a team of clinical psychologists and data scientists. It was trained using large language models and in-house datasets, including “curated interactions that reflect a broad range of emotions and life experiences,” Chester said.

Ebb是由临床心理学家和数据科学家组成的团队开发的。切斯特说，它是使用大型语言模型和内部数据集进行训练的，其中包括“反映广泛情感和生活经历的精心策划的互动”。

Headspace has been using AI for some time to help providers with administrative tasks and identify safety risks in patient conversations. However, this is the company’s first consumer-facing AI product. More and more companies are leveraging AI to support patients with their mental health needs, such as Wysa, which uses an AI-driven chatbot to ask users open-ended questions and prompts them to respond with how they’re feeling.

一段时间以来，Headspace一直在使用人工智能来帮助提供者完成管理任务，并识别患者对话中的安全风险。。越来越多的公司正在利用人工智能来支持患者的心理健康需求，例如Wysa，它使用人工智能驱动的聊天机器人向用户提出开放式问题，并提示他们回答自己的感受。

Woebot is another AI-powered mental health tool that engages in conversations with users to help them work through their emotions..

Woebot是另一个人工智能支持的心理健康工具，它与用户进行对话，帮助他们克服情绪。。

Chester said that investing in a product like Ebb “opens up doors” for making care more personalized and supplementing care provided by humans.

切斯特说，投资像Ebb这样的产品“打开了大门”，可以使护理更加个性化，补充人类提供的护理。

“We acknowledge that AI is a relatively new technology and it is not a replacement for human-based care and will continue to offer both Ebb and human care services in order to ensure that Headspace members have access to the resources that match their specific preferences and requirements for support — no matter where they are on their mental health care journey,” Chester said.

切斯特说：“我们承认人工智能是一项相对较新的技术，它并不能替代基于人类的护理，我们将继续提供Ebb和人类护理服务，以确保顶空成员能够获得与其特定偏好和支持要求相匹配的资源，无论他们在哪里进行心理健康护理。”。

“Long term, we envision Ebb becoming a nimble, knowledgeable mental health companion that learns from member behavior, adapts to changing needs, and provides support to complement the care provided by our clinicians and mental health coaches — as well as triage and escort a member to these providers.”.

“从长远来看，我们设想Ebb成为一个灵活、知识渊博的心理健康伴侣，从会员行为中学习，适应不断变化的需求，并提供支持，以补充我们的临床医生和心理健康教练提供的护理，以及分流和护送会员到这些提供者。”。

He added that Headspace is taking a “thoughtful approach” to rolling out Ebb to its employer and health plan customers in 2025. It plans to offer the feature to employers and health plans as an optional add-on to existing Headspace packages.

他补充说，顶空正在采取“深思熟虑的方法”，在2025年向其雇主和健康计划客户推出Ebb。它计划向雇主和健康计划提供该功能，作为现有顶空软件包的可选附加组件。
