Inuka Hero is a digital chat based coaching product which aims to connect people living with common mental disorders ("CMD"s) in low resource settings to trained coaches (Heroes) who provide support via a mobile interface (e.g. tablet, smartphone). The support provided by the Heroes is based on the Friendship Bench intervention developed by Dixon Chibanda and team at the University of Zimbabwe through funding from Grand Challenges Canada.
