Anxiety disorder is the most common mental disorder in the world. The lifetime prevalence of anxiety disorder in China is as high as 7.6%, but the treatment rate is less than 30%, and the standard treatment rate is only 9.8%. The disease burden is heavy, and it is one of the most serious public health problems in China. Anxiety disorder is a chronic relapsing disease, single drug treatment only 35-50% efficient, psychological treatment as the most international evidence-based foundation and anxiety disorder most commonly used treatment method, can be a single treatment for anxiety disorders or improve the effect of the medication, but because of clinical psychology in China started late, the lack of professionals, unable to meet the huge demand for psychological treatment in our country, therefore, how to develop efficient and standardized anxiety disorders psychotherapy pattern, improve the psychological treatment of acquired, is the key to improve the clinical curative effect of anxiety disorders. Based on the intelligent assisted psychotherapy system based on cognitive behavior and mindfulness developed in the early stage, this research group established the accurate psychotherapy artificial intelligence robot based on evaluation to assist the whole process of standardized psychotherapy for anxiety disorders.
To improve the quality of mental health services, we will develop a robot that includes disease screening, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up. The effectiveness of robots will be verified in a prospective, randomized, multi-center clinical trial. We assume that the robot will reduce the differences in the experience of doctors of different years and will improve mental health care across the country, and improve the uneven distribution of mental health resources through remote resource sharing.
