Technical connectivity issues during therapy sessions
💚 healthproduct problemSingle report ●●●●●
A BetterHelp user reports that frequent connection drops during text-based therapy sessions consume significant time, effectively shortening the session, while the service cost has simultaneously increased.
What people do today
- Attempting to reconnect manually
- Accepting shorter session times
- Complaining to customer support
🔧 Fix this
Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:
- A session-timer tool that automatically pauses the billing clock when a connection drop is detected by the app.
- A dedicated 'reconnection' feature that allows users to resume a session instantly without navigating back through menus.
- A platform-wide service level agreement that provides automatic partial refunds for sessions interrupted by technical failures.

“I don’t get a full session with my therapist now because she either loses me our I lose her on the text and that takes 10 or more minutes trying to get back with her…. Now I see prices higher”
