Lotus Addiction Therapy Inc. 30 Day Video Materials Project
The goal of this project is to create 30 days of video materials (10 minutes per session per day) on a specific addiction/mental health treatment (e.g. BiPolar Disorder, PTSD, Gambling Addiction, Sex Addiction, etc). The videos should be engaging and informative, and should be tailored to the specific treatment being discussed.
Simulation Research
Our research lab publishes dozens of papers every year to promote projects in our field of research. Among these papers are studies detailing our labโs findings from simulations that replicate real-world conditions. We would like to collaborate with students to conduct our simulations. This will involve several different steps for the students, including: Familiarizing themselves with our research project and objectives. Familiarizing themselves with our simulation and modelling. Running simulations and comparing results to experimental data. Tuning simulation parameters to better match experimental conditions. Reporting the results of simulations. Bonus steps in the process would also include: Researching other simulations and models to compare our simulation against.
Enhancing AI Mental Health Coaching: Tailoring Doro to Diverse User Needs
The project's main objective is to optimize Doro, the AI-driven mental health coach, to better serve diverse user groups by identifying specific needs and tailoring interventions accordingly. Hereโs a detailed description of the problem students will be tackling and the expected outcomes: Problem Statement: Despite advancements in digital mental health solutions, many interventions fail to meet the diverse needs of specific user groups, particularly those at a subclinical stage of mental health issues. These groups include immigrants, night shift workers, hospital patients, clients on therapy waitlists, and neurodivergent individuals. Each group has unique challenges and requirements that standard mental health apps do not fully address. Project Goal: Students will conduct a thorough analysis to identify which potential user groups can most benefit from Doro and determine what specific features and therapeutic techniques should be integrated to enhance its effectiveness for these groups. The project aims to refine Doroโs capabilities to provide targeted, effective mental health support that preemptively addresses the needs of individuals at risk of developing more severe mental health conditions.
