Artificial Intelligence Accelerates Depression Treatment: MACBT System Supports Closians
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), the first option of depression treatment, faces the problem of time management of clinicians. The researchers developed a new artificial intelligence decision support system called MACBT to solve this problem.
The system mainly consists of two components:
- Multiple agent CBT frame (MACBT) makes five-stage therapeutic process automatically by encode in digital environment
- CD Memory module designed to monitor the long-term cognitive-patological development of the patient and maintain historical context
- Preparing of Klinisians before the session, the time spent for documentation and patient monitoring after session significantly reduced potential
- A system intended to increase scalability without compromising the quality of therapy
- Designed to be used by Klinisyen, the doctor is positioned as a means of assisting Tags
The system separates from other AI solutions with the “light” feature that reminds past data to understand the therapeutic journey of each patient. This makes it possible to provide consistency between session and create more personalized treatment plans.
This research published in arXiv shows practical practices of artificial intelligence in mental health. While the system is yet in the development phase, it creates serious expectations about the possible effects on the health system. If the work load of croinisians is reduced, access to more patients can be achieved.
