The creators of SparkRX believe they can offer some help to parents and their teenagers suffering from depression who cannot schedule a timely appointment with a therapist or a medical provider.
Jessica Lake is the Chief Science Officer at Limbix, the company that developed SparkRX, and she said the app was designed specifically to increase access for teenagers to effective mental health care.“What Spark is designed to do is, first, learn the relationship between mood and behavior. They learn what they experience affects the way that they feel and that can also work in reverse, you can impact your mood by the way you behave,” she said.
Once started, SparkRX is a self-guided program, led by a character in the app, Limbot, that teens may customize to their preference.
