Hi, I’m Amit Baumel. I’m a tenured associate professor, social-tech entrepreneur, and clinical psychologist working at the intersection of psychology and technology. My work is driven by one question. How do we build technologies that genuinely help people?
 

My research focuses on digital mental health, especially how therapeutic technologies are designed, evaluated, and actually used in the real world. Out of this work came Enlight, an evaluation framework that predicts how people engage with digital interventions, and MindTools.io, a public e-health clearinghouse I chair. It also led to freely available programs for parents and volunteers, used by hundreds of thousands of people worldwide. These days, much of my work centers on AI, including designing AI-based therapeutic experiences and writing my book, Man’s Search for Relevance.
 

If any of this connects to what you’re working on, I’d be happy to help.
