Paper Abstract:
|
For decades, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been utilized within the field of mental healthcare as part of clinical and
consumer-focused applications. AI, specifically as offered through mobile applications for mental healthcare (MHapps),
has potential to make a positive impact on society. However, to do so, AI must be examined through a socially conscious
lens in each state of its development and implementation. For example, AI MHapps called chatbots use therapeutic
techniques to assist people with anxiety and depression, but such promise is tempered by concerns about the chatbots
efficacy and privacy. To help address these issues, this short paper tracks the development of mental health chatbots,
reviews their current, and explores future potential for, and concerns surrounding, these e-health tools. |
