digimind lab

The digimind lab, led by Dr. Matteo Malgaroli at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine, sits at the intersection of clinical psychology and artificial intelligence.

Language is central to mental health assessment and treatment. We use AI to examine and generate language at scale, with the goal of making mental health interventions more scalable and objective. We develop and test digital tools to support care, including automated systems for assessment and risk stratification. We also study how patients and clinicians interact with conversational AI to inform its safer deployment. Learn More →
