We empower organizations and institutions with the capabilities to more effectively identify mental health challenges to ensure patients, team members, and constituents receive the care they need. Toggle offers a new form of artificial intelligence that merges advances in computational cognition with machine learning. We call it Comp Cog AI, and it predicts anxiety, depression, and suicidal planning using a single 3-minute assessment involving images.
