About Us
Mental Health x AI
Wellcome and Neuromatch have come together to build a community at the intersection of mental health and artificial intelligence (AI). At MEXA, we believe a diverse and global community can create real solutions for mental health by leveraging generative AI in an evidence-based and thoughtful way. We do this through deep collaboration, learning together, and boundary-pushing research. Join us on this journey.
Who We Are
A passionate group of researchers, scientists, developers, healthcare workers, lived experience experts, and community members working at the intersection of mental health and AI. We are from all over the world! Some of us have long histories in mental health or AI but are only just beginning to dive into the intersection. Others have built careers bringing these two fields together. Many of us are academic researchers, others work in healthcare, in industry, at NGOs, or have lived experience of mental health conditions. Good research at the intersection of mental health and AI requires collaboration between many people with diverse skill sets and backgrounds – we seek to bring these people together. MEXA is an online community where you can join events, build connections, and learn from each other. Events: Join us for events focused on inspiration, education, and collaboration. Inspiration: Hear from experts and get excited about the future of the field. Participate in interactive brainstorming sessions. Education: Based on community needs, we'll curate educational seminars to fill gaps in skills and knowledge. Collaboration: Participate in hack-a-thons with the new peers you've met from around the world and create real solutions for real problems. Build Connections: Using Neuromatch's Matching Algorithm, you'll be matched a couple of times over the next several months with people in the community who we think you'll collaborate well with based on shared research interests and complementary expertise. Learn from Each Other: Use our online forum to continue the conversation and engage in discussion with fellow community members.
How to Join Us
Fill out a profile sharing a little bit about yourself. We'll use this profile information to match you in the future with potential collaborators. We'll review all profiles. This is a quick review to ensure our community is full of real people who are interested in AI and/or mental health. Once approved, you'll have access to all the events we host and our community forum. Participation is completely free!
