Join panelists Ming Fu, Derrick Carpenter, and Courtney Bigony to hear about their experience with artificial intelligence and the ways it intersects positive psychology and their work! Ming founded Uvita, a creative platform and A.I. copilot that provides all the necessary software and templates for behavioral practitioners to create mobile-based companions for their workshops, books, podcasts, and communities without any need for coding skills. Previously, her team launched a self-care voice app and attracted 150,000 users. Prior to her time at MAPP, Ming worked in people management at a Beijing-based company with a million employees. A crucial conversation during an Uber ride in West Philly while at MAPP inspired her to develop positive technology that makes mental well-being resources available to everyone worldwide.
Derrick is the VP of Product, Artificial Intelligence for Twill, a digital platform with care communities and self-guided programs to enhance mental health and well-being.
