Hello,
A few months ago, I met this Ruby programmer once on the N-Judah in SF who told me that he was working for a start up that specializes in bringing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) treatment for people with mental illness by harnessing the power of the web. As someone who has great faith in CBT I found the idea to be fascinating. But I failed to grasp the name of the company. Fast forward to now, I'm looking to see If I, as a Rails engineer, can be part of it. Does anyone of you know the name of the company or the url? I'm going to contact them and see if they have any opportunities at the moment. Much appreciated, thanks.
There was a Show HN post a few days ago about Sleepio.com which is using CBT over the web to help with insomnia. In the thread the OP talked about wanting to expand it to other types of therapy. Even if it's not the company you were thinking of, it might be interesting. Here's the thread:<p><a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4504639" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4504639</a>
I'm just guessing/searching based on your description, but Empower Interactive
fits your description fairly well.<p><a href="http://www.empower-interactive.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.empower-interactive.com/</a>
