7 Cups, which uses technology to offer 24/7 emotional and behavioral support worldwide, was selected for its contributions and advancements in the field of mental health.
PALO ALTO, Calif. - illiNews -- 7 Cups, the largest mental health platform in the world, was selected among thousands of candidates as one of the World Economic Forum's "Technology Pioneers."
Founded by psychologist Glen Moriarty, 7 Cups is helping solve the world's mental health crisis (where over half of the people who need support aren't currently getting it) by using advanced technology to make behavioral and emotional health care accessible to diverse communities around the globe.
The World Economic Forum's Technology Pioneers are early to growth-stage companies from around the world that are involved in the design, development and deployment of new technologies and innovations, and are poised to have a significant impact on business and society.
This year's Tech Pioneers are emerging innovators from a diverse set of industries. These firms are shaping the future by advancing technologies such as AI, IoT, robotics, blockchain, biotechnology and many more. The focus areas of this year's Tech Pioneers include: agtech, smart cities, cleantech, supply chain, manufacturing, cybersecurity, autonomous vehicles and drones.
The diversity of these companies extends to their leadership as well, as 25% of 2019 Tech Pioneers are female-led. The firms also come from many different regions beyond the United States and Silicon Valley. In fact, this year's class of 56 firms represent every continent except Antarctica. The full list of technology pioneers can be found at http://wef.ch/techpioneers19.

"It's a confirmation that our product is among the most unique in the world and can improve the quality of lives of many people. Our technology extends the reach of traditional mental health services and solves accessibility obstacles by making behavioral health care and emotional support available to everyone.
