The AI x VR Psychotherapy System is an innovative technology that helps people solve common psychological problems. Through the development of innovative Artificial Intelligence and Virtual Reality technologies to create virtual therapy scenarios and analyze the psychological symptoms of users, psychotherapy-related service providers are able to Provide professional AI x VR psychotherapy to groups with mild to moderate symptoms of mental illness, thereby reducing the cost of treatment for patients and the burden on organizations.
At present, there is an increasing demand for psychotherapy in the community, but there is a shortage of professional mental health support. On the one hand, patients have to wait for a long time for public psychiatric appointments and each meeting is short; on the other hand, private mental health services are expensive and unaffordable for ordinary families, and VR psychotherapy can effectively alleviate this problem. VR psychotherapy has been proven to have comparable therapeutic effects to traditional psychotherapy, and has been widely used in clinical groups overseas. It is worthwhile for us to devote more attention to the AI x VR psychotherapy system.
It contains therapy scenarios designed by professional psychologists, registered counsellors and clinical supervisors, local universities and (frontline) social service organizations. Depending on the user's situation, the AI x VR Psychotherapy System is able to provide different types and settings of therapy to the user. In addition, the system is equipped withAI voice emotion recognition function, Cantonese voice recognition function, and physiological data acquisition and analysis function.
This is an efficient multi-trait, multi-language fusion-based speech emotion recognition algorithm developed and trained by Meta Health. In this model, the accuracy of recognizing six emotions- anger, disgust, fear, happiness, neutrality and sadness-is evenly distributed, with an average accuracy of about 95.5%.
AI Voice Emotion Recognition has been applied to the therapy scene "Crying Child", which is designed for depression patients. When the user responds sympathetically to the crying child, the model can quickly and accurately identify the user's emotions from their voice, and then present the percentage of each emotion to assist professionals in analyzing the user's treatment.
