Irena Jerković

Psychologist, entrepreneur and AI enthusiast with a focus in helping building emotionally intelligent AI technology that can improve people’s life. 

Irena joined Mindsmiths – a technology company that offered a possibility to explore a compelling new domain on the intersection of Psychology and Artificial Intelligence. She has since been asking herself what could happen if the products we build are designed in a way to nurture our emotions, vulnerability and humanity, breaking away from tech industry stereotypes. 

Irena is also a cofounder at Improv3, a startup that helps companies to get actionable employee feedback to make better decisions and improve business performance.

Megi is an emotionally intelligent virtual health care assistant who enables faster and easier diagnosis and more efficient treatment of hypertension. She was developed in collaboration with the Magdalena Clinic for Cardiovascular Diseases and the technology company Mindsmiths, which, using artificial intelligence, develops emotionally intelligent human-oriented AI solutions.
