Artificial intelligence-based cognitive-coping therapy (CCT) method, system, and application

Smart overview of the Invention

The patent application describes an AI-based cognitive-coping therapy (CCT) system designed to assist patients with mental disorders such as obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and anxiety disorders. Utilizing natural language processing (NLP) and human-machine dialogue, the system aims to alleviate excessive fear of negative events through personalized interventions. It is built on cognitive psychology and stress-coping theory, offering a computer-implemented method that adapts to patient progress over time.

Background

Cognitive-coping therapy is a novel form of psychotherapy that targets the fear of negative events as stressors, aiming to reduce compulsions and anxiety symptoms. Traditional therapy approaches are often insufficient and time-consuming, creating a demand for more efficient mental health services. The AI-based CCT seeks to bridge this gap by providing an adaptable and comprehensive program that leverages wearable devices for monitoring patient health and treatment status.

System Features

The AI-based CCT system includes a user interface for patient interaction and a backend AI engine for processing inputs and delivering personalized interventions. It conducts initial assessments to identify symptoms and provides interventions such as psychoeducation, cognitive restructuring, and stress/coping strategies. The system's adaptability allows it to monitor progress and adjust interventions using machine learning algorithms.

Integration and Embodiments

In one embodiment, the system integrates with wearable devices to monitor physiological responses during therapy sessions, providing real-time feedback. Another embodiment involves collaboration with therapists, offering them real-time data on patient progress to refine treatment plans. The system can be accessed via smartphones, tablets, or computers, enhancing its accessibility and scalability.

Conclusion

This AI-based CCT offers a promising solution for delivering affordable mental health interventions. It revolutionizes treatment by providing automated, personalized care accessible from any location. By leveraging advanced technologies like NLP and wearable devices, the system ensures effective management of OCD, anxiety disorders, and other related conditions.
