OREM, Utah--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Troomi, a pioneer in child-safe technology and wellness, today announced the launch of Troodi, an AI-powered mental health coach designed to support children’s emotional well-being. Troodi offers a child-friendly companion for kids to express their emotions while providing parents with real-time insights—within a safe, secure digital environment on the Troomi Phone and Troomi Phone Pro.
The Centers for Disease Control reports that 1 in 5 U.S. children faces severe levels of anxiety or depression due in part to digital exposure and isolation. Troodi addresses this growing crisis through early intervention and proactive emotional support, helping parents detect early signs of distress while providing a trusted, empathetic platform for kids to share their feelings and build emotional resilience.
“For years, Troomi has been helping families across the United States reduce many of the online risks that lead to negative mental health outcomes for children, including excessive screen time, inappropriate content, cyberbullying, predatory relationships, and the abundant dangers associated with kids and social media,” said Bill Brady, CEO of Troomi Wireless. “With the launch of Troodi, we’re accelerating our support of youth mental health by providing children a safe, positive feeling, and easy-to-talk-to AI companion while empowering parents with real-time insight into how their kids are doing.”
Troodi integrates seamlessly into the Troomi platform. Parents can easily activate the feature through the Troomi Parent Portal and monitor their child’s emotional health via the new mental health dashboard. In addition to receiving positive-feeling conversation starters, children are invited to use Troodi anytime they need to share their thoughts, making the experience interactive and approachable for kids of all ages.
“Troodi has been an invaluable tool for my daughter. It gives her a trusted source of information and positive reinforcement, and I love that it complements the conversations we already have,” said Nicole, a Troomi customer and mother from Pennsylvania, who uses Troodi with her 12-year-old daughter. “It reinforces the values I’ve been teaching her, which makes me feel even better about her using it. Knowing she has access to reliable, age-appropriate advice gives me peace of mind as a parent.”

How Troodi Helps Families
- Real-Time Emotional Support: Troodi uses AI to engage children in interactive conversations, providing a judgment-free space for them to express their feelings openly and safely, 24/7.
- Empowering Parental Insights: Troodi allows for a more informed and supportive approach to parenting by providing a real-time understanding of children’s predominant emotions, tracked over time. Troodi also gives parents accurate insight into recurring themes in their child’s emotional well-being, helping them address specific areas of concern or celebrate progress.
- Proactive Mental Health Support: Troodi’s AI can detect when a child needs additional resources beyond the chatbot and recommend actions such as contacting a parent or seeking professional help.
- Non-Stigmatizing Approach: Designed to feel more like a friend than a counselor, Troodi encourages emotional development without the stigma sometimes associated with mental health support.
- Safe Guardrails: Instead of engaging in potentially inappropriate conversations, Troodi directs children to talk to a parent or other trusted adult in regard to sensitive subjects. Additionally, Troodi’s conversational prompts focus on positive questions as opposed to assuming that a user is in emotional distress.
“Given the skyrocketing levels of stress, anxiety, loneliness and depression among so many of today’s kids, we built Troodi to provide families a unique ability to prioritize their children’s mental health,” said Brady. “Rather than focus solely on digital safety, we are committed to addressing children’s holistic mental and emotional wellbeing by offering the support they need to thrive in today’s digital world.”
