How we implemented artificial intelligence to support our users
Artificial intelligence (AI) has gained tremendous popularity across various industries, including healthcare and mental health. At Therasize, we believe in taking advantage of the latest technology to provide innovative and effective solutions for mental health challenges.
We are excited to introduce our first AI-powered feature: the AI thought checker. This feature utilizes OpenAI's GPT3 technology to help individuals challenge their negative thoughts and gain a more balanced perspective.
As a therapist or mental health practitioner, you know that negative thoughts and cognitive distortions can have a significant impact on mental health. The AI thought checker is a powerful tool that can help your clients recognize common thinking errors and cognitive distortions, and challenge their negative thoughts.
Here's how it works: clients enter their negative thoughts or worries into the AI thought checker, and the AI analyzes their thoughts for thinking errors or cognitive distortions. It then highlights all thinking errors while providing psychoeducation. It continues to generate an alternative, more balanced thought, helping clients gain a broader perspective on their situation.
One of the key advantages of the AI thought checker is that it can help clients develop a more realistic and balanced perspective. By understanding common thinking errors and cognitive distortions, clients can challenge their negative thoughts and develop a more positive outlook on life.
It’s important to note that just like us, AI is not perfect, it makes mistakes. But this does not have to be an entirely negative aspect as in this use case, it encourages clients to challenge or question the perspectives generated by the AI, ultimately helping clients to gain confidence in their ability to shift their perspectives and challenge negative thoughts on their own, outside of therapy sessions.
The AI thought checker is available on Therasize's iOS app, making it easy for clients to access and use. Therapists can connect directly with their clients through the app, send them MDS forms, view their diaries, and set homework. As a therapist or mental health practitioner, you can suggest your clients use the AI thought checker as part of their therapy sessions to help with cognitive restructuring during sessions, challenge their negative thoughts and gain a more balanced perspective.
At Therasize, we are committed to using the latest technologies to provide innovative and effective solutions for mental health challenges. Our AI thought checker is just one example of how we are utilizing AI to help individuals improve their mental health and well-being.
In conclusion, the AI thought checker is a convenient and powerful tool that can greatly benefit your clients. It helps them recognize thinking errors and cognitive distortions, and gain a more realistic and balanced perspective. When used alongside our Therapist Connection features and disorder-specific worksheets, you can better help them improve their mental health and well-being under your guidance. Encourage your clients to try the AI thought checker now on the Therasize iOS app and see the difference it can make in their progress during and between sessions.
