We will report on the development of an Intelligent agent for mental health assessment interviews. Specifically, we will train a large language moswl (LLM) to conduct the depression and anxiety semi structured interview in real time, with a human interviewer on standby. We will report on the initial findings of a four armed stratified randomized study designed to support the clinical validation of an AI-based tool to assess the clinical severity of depression and anxiety. This study will remotely assess 120 participants in the U.S. for depression and anxiety severity, and will compare the signals collected during clinical assessments conducted by human interviewers and an AI agent ("AI Interviewer")
