To say that AI is all around us would be an understatement. From small daily conveniences—like Alexa turning on our favorite playlist or Google Maps guiding us through an unknown city—to more serious use cases like facial recognition to keep personal information secure, most of us interact with this technology on a regular basis.
But while these broad-use applications of AI are designed to help large swaths of the population, there’s also the realm of specialized AI. These systems focus on tackling specific, often complex tasks—like deciphering human emotion or spotting intricate patterns in data. It’s exactly the type of AI that’s starting to make big waves in behavioral health, and it’s the reason why it’s so important for industry leaders to carefully consider the role of AI in current—and future—behavioral health practice. Because once we bring intelligent technology into the treatment room, the benefit isn’t merely convenience; it has the potential to actually change lives.
In this 1-hour lunch and learn presentation, Dr. Shiri Sadeh-Sharvit will lead a thought-provoking discussion on the evolution of behavioral health-focused AI technology to its current state—as well as the possibilities she foresees in the next several years. Attendees will learn:
- Foundational concepts in generative AI—and how they apply to behavioral health-specific platforms like Eleos.
- Key characteristics and requirements that separate specialized healthcare AI tools from general purpose AI technology.
- The difference between artificial intelligence (or augmented intelligence) and digital therapeutics—and the current state of each in behavioral health.
- What’s next for AI in behavioral health—including emerging applications in decision support, outcomes tracking, supervision, treatment planning, compliance, and more.
