Ranks distinct AI gain and problem claims from the published record. Scores reward impact, independent source strength, scale, confidence, and recency.
A peer-reviewed study in mHealth analyzed 159 Google Play reviews of Wysa, a commercial AI-driven mental health conversational agent, posted between January 2020 and March 2024.
