Artificial Intelligence Based Chatbot Studies
The Artificial Intelligence Based Chatbot studies are my most recent publications and represent probably the most innovative technology we are developing and testing. I am proud of having published the first study ever in a Chatbot for depression and anxiety in Spanish. More specifically, in Argentina. Notably, the developer of this chatbot is a student that graduated from the Master’s program from Palo Alto University. I have published three other studies and have one more under review. Overall, I have reported on the utilization patterns, psychometric properties of the chatbot version of the PHQ-9, the users' perspectives, and the feasibility and efficacy of a chatbot for depression and anxiety in university students in Argentina. I am currently working on testing a chatbot for adolescents at risk for depression and another one for teaching behavioral parenting skills.
