In this episode of the Modern Mommy Doc podcast, Dr. Whitney sits down with Sam Gardner, CEO and co-founder of Happypillar, and Chloe Picot-Jacobs, Clinical Director of the app, to discuss an innovative approach to parenting that blends technology and evidence-based strategies. Happypillar is designed to help parents tackle common behavioral challenges in children aged 2 to 7, using techniques from Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), enhanced by AI for accessibility and scalability.
Dr. Whitney and her guests dive into the journey of developing this app, which uses AI to give real-time feedback to parents during playtime sessions, helping them improve their interactions with their children. Sam shares her personal struggles as a parent, how PCIT transformed her relationship with her child, and why she was inspired to create Happypillar to help other parents going through similar challenges. Chloe, a licensed clinical social worker, explains the evidence behind PCIT, how the app works, and addresses concerns around privacy and data security.
