How can AI help us to manage mental health condtiions? With Amid Ayobi and Aisling Ann O'Kane

The Mental Health Research Matters team spoke to Dr Aisling Ann O'Kane and Dr Amid Ayobi from the SPHERE project to find out more about human-computer interactions and mental health. Amid and Aisling are part of a team of 100 researchers from different disciplines working on SPHERE - an EPSRC-funded project where participants use wearable or at-home sensors to monitor physical and mental health problems at home. These sensors can help researchers better understand physical and mental health conditions outside of a lab or hospital setting. Amid and Aisling discuss the importance of interdisciplinary research, researching health problems that serve and involve the communities you're trying to help, and share tips for early-career engineering and physical sciences researchers looking to get involved in mental health.
