Oregon, received a $17.9 million contract from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to create an advanced artificial intelligence model for behavioral health interventions.<\/li>\n<li>The project aims to train AI models using data from smartphones, wearables, and large-scale electronic health records (EHRs) to improve mental health and substance use disorder treatment.<\/li>\n<li>The initiative aims to transition behavioral healthcare from episodic and subjective assessments to continuous, data-driven health promotion.<\/li>\n<li>Ksana\u2019s project, part of the HHS Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health\u2019s (ARPA-H) EVIDENT program, involves multiple institutions, including Duke University, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, and the Yale Stress Center.<\/li>\n<li>The project includes multi-phase phases, starting with a proof-of-concept study, followed by pilot data collection with tens of thousands of participants across various health systems.<\/li>\n<li>Participating health systems include Providence, MedStar Health, and the University of Washington.<\/li>\n<li>Recruitment for the study will start at Providence this summer, allowing individuals aged 18 and older to participate by downloading Ksana\u2019s app and consenting to include their EHR information.<\/li>\n<li>The study aims to leverage sensing capabilities of everyday devices to create a new personalized and proactive model of behavioral healthcare.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ksana Health to build mental health LLM in fed-funded project
