Editorial review  ·  By MedAI Verdict

Bottom line

Earkick is a consumer app built around Panda, an AI chat companion with mood and anxiety tracking. A person downloads it themselves, and the vendor's disclaimer says it is not meant to diagnose, treat or replace professional care. A clinician can point a patient to it as a free outlet between visits, but it has no place in a practice workflow.

Who runs Earkick?

Crunchbase names Herbert Bay as chief executive and Karin Andrea Stephan as chief operating officer. The company's blog describes the product as an "AI Self-Care Panda" for tracking and improving mental health, and the App Store lists it as "Earkick Anxiety Tracker". The chat itself runs from chat.earkick.com.

Funding has been small. A $1 million pre-seed round closed in November 2021 through Founder Lodge. Crunchbase lists a seed round led by Duke Impact Investing Group with no amount given. A WeFunder crowdfunding round closed in November 2023 after raising $57,100 at a $12.5 million valuation cap, per Crowdonomics.

What does the app do?

The chat site offers a free AI chat with Panda and needs no signup. The app adds mood tracking. The vendor blog says medical professionals proofread its content.

The same blog carries the disclaimer that the app is not intended to diagnose, treat or replace professional care.

What does the paid tier cost?

Chat is free. The Rundown's listing of App Store prices gives $14.99 a month or $3.99 a week for the paid tier.

Has anyone outside the company reviewed it?

Psychology.com publishes a review titled "Earkick Review: Panda App Features, Cost, and Privacy".

The verdict

Earkick fits a patient with mild stress who wants something to talk to at night and does not want to pay at first. A patient who needs treatment should not treat it as a substitute, since the vendor says it does not replace professional care, and a practice looking for documentation or workflow software has nothing to buy.
