Meet Dr. Riya
Your AI guide inside the Mindtalk app.
Dr. Riya is an AI mental health guide that knows your data — your assessments, journeys and journals — and helps you make sense of it. She works alongside Cadabams' human specialists, free on iOS, Android and Web.
What Dr. Riya does
She owns the gap between sessions — turning your private record into something you can actually act on.
Explains your results
Took a WHO-5, PHQ-9 or another screening in the app? Dr. Riya turns the scores into plain-language meaning — what they suggest, what they don't, and what's worth paying attention to.
Suggests where to start
Based on your assessments and how you're feeling, she points you to a sensible first step — a guided journey, a journal, or speaking with a human specialist.
Preps you for your clinician
She helps you organise what you want to say, so your therapist starts the session already knowing your context instead of spending it catching up.
Tracks the gap between sessions
Your mood, sleep and journals live in your private record. Dr. Riya helps you make sense of the days between appointments, so progress doesn't get lost.
