What is Cartha AI?
Cartha AI is an AI-powered mental wellness companion that provides 24/7 emotional support through conversational therapy. Available as both a mobile app for individuals and Cartha Hub for organizations, it uses advanced AI to offer personalized support, wellness tracking, and evidence-based therapeutic techniques at a fraction of traditional therapy costs.
Who can use Cartha? Is there a minimum age?
Cartha AI is available to users aged 13 and older. Users must enter their birth year during sign-up, and accounts for users under 13 will be blocked. Teen users (13-17) receive enhanced privacy protections including no behavioral advertising, no data sales, highest privacy settings by default, and the right to delete all their data. In some states, parental authorization may be required for users under 18.
Is Cartha a replacement for traditional therapy?
No, Cartha is not a replacement for traditional therapy or professional medical care. We believe the human element is essential for deep, meaningful therapeutic connections. Cartha serves as a supplementary mental wellness tool that can enhance traditional therapy by providing consistent support between sessions or offering accessible support to those without therapy access. It focuses on general wellness, stress management, and emotional support.
Is Cartha considered a medical device?
No, Cartha is not classified as a medical device and is not FDA-approved. It does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical conditions. Cartha focuses on general wellness and emotional support. While it helps users understand their emotional states, our terms of service clearly state that Cartha is not a substitute for professional medical care and may contain AI-generated errors or "hallucinations."
Can Cartha work with insurance?
Currently, we do not accept insurance as a form of payment. However, our pricing is designed to be affordable and accessible, with costs significantly lower than traditional therapy sessions.
