Ada was tested by a team at Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz, involving a diverse group of users including psychotherapists, students, and laypersons. The study analyzed 20 different mental health cases, revealing some remarkable outcomes: 📈Correct diagnoses were identified in 58% to 79% of adult cases. 🔍 When considering additional possible diagnoses, accuracy improved to an outstanding 88% to 92%. 🤝 Ada’s diagnostic accuracy (Kappa=0.78) is on par with the level of agreement typically seen between two professional psychologists. ⏱️ The app completes detailed assessments in just 7 minutes. At Ada, we continue to welcome independent third party research into our products, including our AI-powered health assessment. This research underscores Ada’s potential to significantly enhance diagnostic quality, making mental health care more accessible and efficient.

Diagnostic error is well understood to be a problem in mental healthcare, but there is a lack of consensus on how to conceptualize, define, and measure errors in diagnosis, according to an AHRQ-funded review published in BMJ Quality & Safety. Researchers summarized the state of research on diagnostic errors in #MentalHealth and identify opportunities to align future research with the emerging science of diagnostic safety. They found that few studies used clear definitions or frameworks for understanding diagnostic error in mental health, but several studies of missed, wrong, delayed, and disparate diagnosis of common mental disorders have identified various avenues for future research and development. https://lnkd.in/geQT9z2f

In Doing the Work: Therapeutic Labor, Teletherapy, and the Platformization of Mental Health Care, Researcher Livia Garofalo examines the changing realities for mental health professionals in the US as therapeutic labor is restructured by teletherapy services and digital platforms. The report argues that the changing conditions of therapeutic labor — the economic, technological, and professional arrangements of online therapy via platforms — are redefining therapeutic work: how mental health providers make a living, how they understand and give meaning to their professional identity, and how they relate to their clients. In doing so, this research challenges popular narratives about teletherapy services and digital platforms, and who they serve.

Really important piece of work out about therapists and shifts in and intensification of their work from my former colleagues at Data & Society. Big implications for how much we rely on online therapy platforms and how sustainable those shifts are for the humans doing the work.
