Preemptive Psychological Support System
Researchers at the University of Ottawa have developed an artificial intelligence-based system called "UbiMyTherapist" that monitors users' emotional states through smart devices such as watches and smartphones. Its goal is to detect psychological distress and emotional suffering early on and provide proactive mental health support before the user seeks help. The system relies on analyzing physiological signals such as heart rate and voice tone, utilizing a dynamic profile that combines medical history and current condition to generate personalized and responsive feedback. Trials have shown the system to be highly effective, opening new avenues for delivering psychological care outside of clinics and reducing the gaps in access to mental health services.
