How It’s Complicated is Advancing Mental Health Technology with Stream Video

It's Complicated, a Berlin-based therapy community platform founded in 2019, faced challenges with video call reliability and the need for advanced features to support effective therapy sessions, impacting therapist-client interactions and user satisfaction. To address these issues, the platform integrated Stream's Video API, which offered comprehensive features such as integrated chat, advanced UI/UX, and multi-participant call capabilities, along with ensuring HIPAA compliance and fitting within their budget. Through proactive beta testing and user feedback, features like whiteboarding and background blur were refined to meet the specific needs of therapists and therapy seekers. The integration resulted in improved call quality, stability, and session tools, leading to higher therapist satisfaction and expanded market reach into family and group therapy sectors. Stream's competitive pricing and robust global edge network further supported It's Complicated's growth and innovation plans in the mental health tech industry, setting a strong foundation for future developments.
