What is Mental Health AI? 
Mental Health AI asks patients to complete a GAD-7 and/or PHQ-9 questionnaire if it predicts their request is related to anxiety or depression, respectively. It also pre-populates the 'What are the main topics of this request?' triage decision question by ticking the anxiety and/or depression boxes.
What are the benefits of Mental Health AI?
- Speeds up the consultation process by asking patients to complete PHQ-9 and GAD-7 questionnaires immediately rather than waiting for a member of staff to do it
- Reduces workload because questionnaires don't need to be assigned manually by staff, and can help in eliciting a full history from a patient
- Improves care quality by ensuring that all requests that could be related to anxiety and depression are assessed in a standardised and comprehensive way

What should I do if I see a suggestion from Mental Health AI?
If you agree with the suggestion made by PATCHS then there's no need to do anything - just process the request as you would normally. If you disagree with the suggestion made by PATCHS you should simply untick the anxiety and/or depression boxes on the 'What are the main topics of this request?' triage decision question.
