AI voice coach shows promise in psychotherapy for depression and anxiety
]. In this context, our study using a virtual voice-based coach offers a novel mental health therapy delivery mechanism. The absence of full-fledged RCTs of voice-based applications is likely due to the challenges high-quality natural language understanding on these platforms. However, it must be stated that these platforms have had greater success in directed and specific conversations utilizing the extensive modern machine learning and natural language processing algorithms.
In summary, this pilot RCT provides preliminary evidence that a virtual voice-based coach may represent an alternative option of PST delivery for managing mild-to-moderate depression and anxiety. This innovative approach may reduce barriers to mental health care access, particularly for vulnerable populations.Data used in the preparation of this manuscript will be submitted to the National Institute of Mental Health Data Archive .

Effects of airway pressure release ventilation on lung physiology assessed by electrical impedance tomography in patients with early moderate-to-severe ARDS - Critical CareObjective The aim of this study was to investigate the physiological impact of airway pressure release ventilation (APRV) on patients with early moderate-to-severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) by electrical impedance tomography (EIT). Methods In this single-center prospective physiological study, adult patients with early moderate-to-severe ARDS mechanically ventilated with APRV were assessed by EIT shortly after APRV (T0), and 6 h (T1), 12 h (T2), and 24 h (T3) after APRV initiation. Regional ventilation and perfusion distribution, dead space (%), shunt (%), and ventilation/perfusion matching (%) based on EIT measurement at different time points were compared. Additionally, clinical variables related to respiratory and hemodynamic condition were analyzed. Results Twelve patients were included in the study. After APRV, lung ventilation and perfusion were significantly redistributed to dorsal region. One indicator of ventilation distribution heterogeneity is the global inhomogeneity index, which decreased gradually [0.61 (0.55–0.62) to 0.50 (0.42–0.53), p | 0.001]. The other is the center of ventilation, which gradually shifted towards the dorsal region (43.31 ± 5.07 to 46.84 ± 4.96%, p = 0.048). The dorsal ventilation/perfusion matching increased significantly from T0 to T3 (25.72 ± 9.01 to 29.80 ± 7.19%, p = 0.007). Better dorsal ventilation (%) was significantly correlated with higher PaO2/FiO2 (r = 0.624, p = 0.001) and lower PaCO2 (r = -0.408, p = 0.048). Conclusions APRV optimizes the distribution of ventilation and perfusion, reducing lung heterogeneity, which potentially reduces the risk of ventilator-induced lung injury.
