THIS TECHNOLOGY WILL BLOW YOUR MIND SIMSENSEI

Its called SIMSENSEI. This technology was launched with the goal of using artificial intelligence to identify indicators of psychological distress such as depression, anxiety and Post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The prototype was launched by the University of Southern California Institute for Creative Technologies’ (ICT) within DARPA' Detection and Computational Analysis of Psychological Signals (DCAPS).

The SIMSENSEI software which is a virtual therapist is called Ellie. If you have a conversation with Ellie, her creators say, she will be able to suss out symptoms of anxiety, depression and PTSD. It can also, they say, help prepare soldiers before they go to the battlefield.

To build a system such as SIMSENSEI , The team took a three step-approach: first, they analyzed humans interacting, to observe the linguistic and behavioral nuances of those conversations. They now created a virtual human with a human behind it pressing the buttons nicknamed the “Wizard of Oz”. They added facial movement sensors and dialogue managers once they had a framework for the rhythms of face-to-face therapy session. Thereby making something that can read and react to human emotion.

The system produces a computer generated diagnosis to determine if the person is anxious, depressed or not and has boasted of 90% accuracy rate in what it does.
