By leveraging AI, we’re able to provide accessible, evidence-based support to mental health professionals and parents worldwide, furthering PAU’s commitment to innovation in behavioral health.”

Dr. Bunge, who also directs the Children and Adolescents Psychotherapy and Technology Research Lab, brings a wealth of experience to this project. His extensive research and publications in the field underscore the scientific rigor behind PAT’s development.

This partnership highlights PAU’s dedication to remaining at the forefront of emerging trends in behavioral health. By supporting cutting-edge technologies like PAT, PAU continues to demonstrate its leadership in addressing critical societal needs through innovative solutions.

Dr. Patricia Zapf, Vice President of Business Innovation and Strategic Advancement at PAU, emphasizes the significance of this collaboration: “This licensing agreement with ParenteAI exemplifies PAU’s commitment to fostering innovation and extending our impact beyond traditional academic boundaries. It’s a testament to our faculty’s expertise and our institution’s ability to translate research into practical, life-changing applications.”

The AI Co-Therapist PAT has the potential to benefit millions of parents and children globally, offering readily available guidance on child behavioral health. This initiative aligns with PAU’s core values of compassion, integrity, and excellence, aiming to improve lives on a broader scale than ever before.
