00:07Over four days, 165,000 visitors and more than 13,000 startups from 50 countries are converging under one roof.
00:18This year, artificial intelligence or AI is once again the undisputed star of the event.

00:38Secondly, there is a geopolitical context that is absolutely incredible in which tech plays a role and we will describe it for four days.
00:46Among this year's standouts, innovations using AI to support mental health, like Emobot,

00:58It is an application that is installed on the phone and on the computer.
01:03We analyze the expressions of the face, once per second.
01:07We also analyze the voice when we talk with a colleague or another.
01:11And then we aggregate the data from the activity that is one of the symptoms of the depression.
01:18We put all these data together and make a dashboard for the doctor to follow the evolution of the symptoms.
01:25Another solution to improve mental well-being comes from AMOA, which emerges neuroscience with scent to trigger emotional shifts in just a few minutes.
01:40The goal of AMOA is to stimulate your emotional state within five minutes, in relaxation, concentration, joy or energy.
01:49And so we have worked with neuro-olfactive parfums that have been proven with neuro-scientific studies to boost your emotional state.
01:56And there are four, because mental health is super important.
02:00At VivaTech, innovation isn't just about faster processors or smarter apps.
