https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyt.2024.1356773

About the research:
This mixed-methods review examined how artificial intelligence (AI) is being used within online mental healthcare, including psychotherapy delivery, treatment monitoring, engagement support, and prediction of treatment response and dropout. The review included 29 studies and found promising evidence for AI-supported mental health interventions, while also highlighting the need for higher-quality research as this field continues to develop.

My contribution:
Jazmin Eadie contributed to this research as a co-author, examining the emerging role of AI technologies in the delivery and enhancement of online mental healthcare.

Comparing the Efficacy of Electronically Delivered Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (e-CBT) to Weekly Online Mental Health Check-Ins for Generalized Anxiety Disorder: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Chermahini, M. B., Eadie, J., Agarwal, A., Stephenson, C., Malakouti, N., Nikjoo, N., Jagayat, J., Jarabana, V., Shirazi, A., Kumar, A., Gizzarelli, T., Gutierrez, G., Khan, F., Patel, C., Yang, M., Omrani, M., & Alavi, N. (2024). The Canadian Journal of Psychiatry, 69(9), 695–707.
DOI: 10.1177/07067437241261933

About the research:
This randomized controlled trial examined whether a 12-week electronically delivered cognitive behavioural therapy (e-CBT) program was more effective than weekly asynchronous online mental health check-ins for individuals with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). A total of 96 participants were randomized to either e-CBT or the online check-in condition. Both approaches were associated with significant improvements in GAD symptoms over time, with no significant difference between the two treatment groups.

My contribution:
Jazmin Eadie contributed to this research as a co-author as part of a multidisciplinary research team investigating accessible and scalable approaches to delivering mental healthcare online.

Stephenson, C., Eadie, J., Holmes, C., Asadpour, K., Gutierrez, G., Kumar, A., Jagayat, J., Patel, C., Sajid, S., Knyahnytskyi, O., Yang, M., Reshetukha, T., Moi, C., Barrett, T., Shirazi, A., Verter, V., Soares, C. N., Omrani, M., & Alavi, N. (2026). The Canadian Journal of Psychiatry, 71(1), 30–40.
DOI: 10.1177/07067437251355641

About the research:
This study evaluated an artificial intelligence-assisted psychiatric triage program designed to improve access to mental healthcare and reduce wait times. The program used natural language processing and machine learning to recommend an appropriate level of care and a disorder-specific digital psychotherapy program for patients awaiting outpatient psychiatric assessment. Among 101 participants, the initiative reduced overall wait times by 71.43%, with participants accessing psychological care within three weeks of completing the digital triage module. AI-generated recommendations also matched psychiatrist recommendations for treatment intensity and psychotherapy in approximately 71% of cases.

My contribution:
Jazmin Eadie contributed to this research as a co-author as part of a multidisciplinary research team investigating the use of artificial intelligence and digital psychotherapy to improve the accessibility, efficiency, and delivery of mental healthcare.
