Bhubaneswar: In a major initiative aimed at improving mental health among students and preventing suicides, the AIIMS, Bhubaneswar will implement the ‘Never Alone’ programme — an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based mental health and wellness platform.The programme is part of a broader strategy to offer round-the-clock support and reduce the stigma surrounding mental health among youth.
The ‘Never Alone’ app, officially launched on World Suicide Prevention Day at AIIMS-Delhi, will be implemented at AIIMS-Bhubaneswar. The platform provides a highly secure, web-based interface accessible 24x7 through WhatsApp, ensuring continuous mental health support for students. The Department of Psychiatric at the premier health institute will implement the app.
“Students will have both virtual and offline access to consultations with mental health and wellness experts through the app,” said Dr. Ashutosh Biswas, Executive Director of AIIMS-Bhubaneswar.
