Toki Pona was created to help manage thoughts during depression, and its therapeutic applications have been studied in professional contexts. In 2007, Pekka Roponen, working as a psychiatrist in Finland, had patients track their thoughts in Toki Pona and claimed that "negative thought patterns and cognitions can be transferred and eliminated by simply using the language."<ref name="Canadian has people talking about lingo she created">{{cite web|url=//theglobeandmail.com/technology/canadian-has-people-talking-about-lingo-she-created/article20399052|title=Canadian has people talking about lingo she created|author=Roberts, Siobhan|username=|date=July 9, 2007|website={{w|The Globe and Mail}}|publisher=|access-date=2023-12-28|quote=}}</ref> |

===Language strategies=== |
|||
According to an experiment by Paolo Coluzzi while teaching Italian at the {{wp|University of Malaya}}, Toki Pona can improve speakers' [[circumlocution]] and other communication strategies when learning additional languages. Use of these strategies makes up for unknown or forgotten words and expressions in the unfamiliar language.<ref>Coluzzi, P. (2022). "How learning Toki Pona may help improving communication strategies in a foreign or second language." ''Language Problems and Language Planning'', ''46''(1), 78–98. https://doi.org/10.1075/lplp.00086.col.</ref> |

Toki Pona has been studied in computer science. The {{w|Robot Interaction Language}} was initially based on Toki Pona; according to tests in 2010, the modified Toki Pona vocabulary outperformed English in speech recognition accuracy.<ref>Mubin, Omar; Bartneck, Christoph; Feijs, Loe (2010).
