Summary

The primary objective of this grant is to develop and evaluate an Artificial Intelligence-based clinical training tool--CBTpro--to support high-quality skills training in CBT for psychosis (CBTp). CBTpro will provide a rapid means of scaling and sustaining high-quality CBTp in routine care settings across the US.

Detailed description

This fast-track Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) grant is a partnership between the University of Washington and private company LYSSN that includes the development and iterative testing of CBTpro, a Computerized Clinician Support Tool designed to teach behavioral health providers and students Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for psychosis (CBTp). CBTpro uses natural language processing to provide automated speech-to-text and machine learning to score trainee's responses to simulated patients with psychosis. Once technical reliability of the tool is achieved through iterative modifications based on usability and field trials, a randomized control trial will be conducted to assess CBTpro training vs. training as usual with N=100 providers / N=300 clients on clinician skills and client outcomes.
