In recent years, mental health issues in China have become increasingly severe, yet there is a prominent mismatch between the supply and demand for mental health services. On the demand side, approximately 30 million people suffer from depressive disorders and 40 million from anxiety disorders each year. On the supply side, there is a shortage of 1 million qualified professionals, with scarcity being particularly acute in third- and fourth-tier cities. Meanwhile, strong social stigma surrounding mental illness persists; patients are often reluctant to disclose their conditions to family and friends, resulting in a mere 10% treatment-seeking rate among individuals with depression. Artificial intelligence (AI) technology holds promise for alleviating these industry pain points.

MirrorTech has launched China’s first AI-powered large language model for clinical psychology by collecting, analyzing, and annotating extensive data on complex human psychological emotions and conducting deep learning on tens of millions of real-world user cases, demonstrating significant advantages in the perception of emotions, intentions, and motivations. MirrorTech has developedAI Assessor, AI Confidant, and AI Psychologistand other professional products. These AI agents can provide users with personalized mental health assessments and counseling services, addressing pain points in traditional psychotherapy such as insufficient supply and high costs.

With over fifteen years of R&D experience in big data and AI, he previously served as Director of Big Data at Tencent, establishing himself as a multidisciplinary expert deeply versed in both AI and psychology. The company’s team also includes former executives from Fortune 500 companies, globally renowned AI scientists, and clinical psychological counseling experts.
