#444: What does safe, clinical AI for mental health look like?

from The Healthtech Podcast · host Dr. James Somauroo

This week, James is joined by Dr Clare Palmer, Director of Evidence Generation at ieso, to explore what happens when AI is purpose-built for mental health care - and why that's worlds apart from people typing their problems into ChatGPT. They discuss ieso's safety-constrained AI architecture, the striking fact that only half of people with depression or anxiety recover, and how agentic AI systems could move us towards precision mental health care at scale.Connect with Clare: https://www.linkedin.com/in/clare-palmer-phd-b752795a/Learn more about ieso: https://www.ieso.ai/ Apply to be a guest: www.thehealthtechpodcast.comSubscribe to Healthtech Pigeon 🐦: www.healthtechpigeon.comGet in touch with James: www.jamessomauroo.comThis podcast was brought to you by SomX.
