INSIGHT

Continuous Language Yields Rich Behavioral Data

  • Language interactions can act as rich, continuous behavioral data far beyond single questionnaires like PHQ-9.
  • Continuous dialogue yields orders of magnitude more signal for diagnosis and monitoring.
ADVICE

Design For Passive, Valuable Patient Engagement

  • Build always-on LLM interactions that patients want to use to passively collect diagnostic-grade data.
  • Use those interactions to generate large longitudinal datasets for diagnostics and drug development.
ANECDOTE

Patients Share Differently With AI Assistants

  • Jiminy Health's LLM operates alongside human clinicians and enhances the therapeutic alliance.
  • Patients often disclose differently to the LLM and use it for timely, small disclosures between sessions.
