AI AND MENTAL HEALTH: INNOVATIONS, CHALLENGES, AND OPPORTUNITIES

Abstract

AI facilitates remote monitoring and support services through chatbots, virtual health assistants, and wearable devices, enabling continuous assessment, real-time intervention, and remote therapy delivery for individuals in underserved or remote areas. However, the widespread adoption of AI in mental health is not without challenges, including ethical considerations, data privacy concerns, and algorithmic biases that must be addressed to ensure responsible and equitable deployment.
