AI Chatbot for Mental Health Initial Assessment
Benefits
The chatbot helps address staff shortages and high referral volumes by automating the collection of initial patient information. It frees up clinician time, speeds up the administration process, helps determine suitable talking therapy options for patients, and improves workflow efficiency. The chatbot does not make clinical decisions but supports the pre-assessment information gathering process.
