[+] get used to it and get onboard. In today’s column, I am continuing my ongoing series about the impact of generative AI in the health and medical realm. The focus this time is once again on the mental health domain and examines the use of generative AI for seeking what is known as “emotional CPR” (abbreviated as eCPR) and leveraging generative AI for Mental Health First Aid (MHFA).
I will explain the nature of eCPR and MHFA so that you’ll be aware of what those mental health therapies consist of. The two topics of eCPR and MHFA are distinct, and I want to clarify that they are not the same. That being said, there are definitely intersecting commonalities between them.
All in all, generative AI can be used to invoke eCPR and can also be used to invoke MHFA, separately so. You can even tell generative AI to practice both of those approaches at the same time. Examples of these variations will be demonstrated by my making use of the widely popular generative AI app ChatGPT.
I have previously examined numerous interleaving facets of generative AI and mental health, see my comprehensive overview at the link here . You might also find of notable interest a CBS 60 Minutes episode that recently examined crucial facets of this evolving topic, see the link here (I am honored and pleased to indicate that I was interviewed .
