Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of artificial intelligence and mental health service technology, and in particular to an AI-based psychological counseling method and system. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, technological development in the field of mental health services mainly focuses on the following aspects: First, at the level of psychological state assessment, existing technologies largely rely on unimodal or bimodal data analysis. The most common approach is online questionnaires based on self-report scales, which are highly subjective and prone to masking. In addition, some technologies employing voice emotion recognition or facial expression analysis have emerged, attempting to objectively assess emotional states through a single behavioral channel. However, psychological state is a complex manifestation of the combined effects of physiological, behavioral, cognitive, and environmental factors. The aforementioned unimodal or bimodal methods have inherent limitations: First, the assessment accuracy is insufficient; relying solely on questionnaires or single behavioral characteristics easily leads to false positives (misjudging normal emotional fluctuations as illness) or false negatives (missing the true risk), making it difficult to meet the accuracy requirements of large-scale screening. Second, the decision-making process is uninterpretable; many deep learning-based models are like "black boxes," only outputting results without providing convincing decision-making evidence, making their results difficult for counselors to accept or hindering regulatory audits.
[0003] Secondly, at the intervention and treatment level, existing technologies generally suffer from a "broken screening-intervention link." Most systems only complete a "one-time assessment" and generate a static report, while subsequent steps such as consultation appointments, resource matching, interview recording, and quality supervision still heavily rely on manual operation. This break leads to a series of operational bottlenecks: assessment results "sleep," failing to automatically trigger effective intervention actions; manual scheduling is time-consuming and inefficient, unable to achieve minute-level rapid response; the consultation process lacks real-time, quantitative quality control methods, and supervision is severely lacking. The entire service process fails to form an automated closed loop of "assessment-decision-treatment-quality control," severely restricting service efficiency and coverage.
[0004] Furthermore, existing methods have extremely limited capabilities in long-term support and group intervention. Current AI chatbots mostly use fixed scripts, making it difficult to conduct dynamic and personalized deep interactions based on individual risk profiles. This often results in irrelevant answers, poor user experience, and low long-term compliance. At the same time, current technologies lack the ability to identify common weaknesses from group data, hindering contextualized group training tailored to individual needs. This makes interventions less targeted and significantly reduces their effectiveness.
[0005] In summary, existing technologies face three major technical challenges: insufficient accuracy and interpretability in single-modal assessments, a broken link in the screening-intervention-supervision process, and a lack of long-term support and group intervention capabilities. Therefore, there is an urgent need in this field for an integrated solution that can fuse multimodal data to achieve high-precision, interpretable risk quantification, and automatically connect the entire process of screening, scheduling, interviews, supervision, and long-term support.

When the total risk value falls between the fourth and fifth thresholds, it is classified as severe. When the total risk value is greater than or equal to the fifth threshold, it is judged to be at the crisis level.
[0040] S5. Automatically match consulting resources based on individual risk levels and generate scheduling plans and preliminary screening reports.
[0041] In this embodiment, step S5 specifically includes: Based on the preset treatment mapping rules, the corresponding type of consultation resources is matched to the individual risk level; Among them, the handling mapping rules include at least: mapping health level to targeted push training resources, mapping mild and moderate levels to AI interview resources, mapping severe level to human consultation resources and attaching AI supervision resources, and mapping crisis level to human consultation resources and initiating crisis handling process. Based on the matched consultation resource type, query the corresponding resource pool status, and generate a scheduling plan containing specific time, consultant ID and contact channel based on the priority scheduling algorithm; Meanwhile, based on individual risk levels, total risk values, and four-dimensional thematic risk vectors, a preliminary screening report is generated through a large model, which includes a summary of objective indicators, an interpretation of risk factors, and suggested handling paths. For severe and crisis levels, the initial screening report will simultaneously generate a work order for manual review.
[0042] Specifically, when an individual's risk level is health level L0, targeted training resources are pushed to them; when an individual's risk level is mild level L1 or moderate level L2, they are mapped to AI interview resources; when an individual's risk level is severe level L3, they are mapped to human priority + AI supervision; when an individual's risk level is crisis level L4, they are mapped to human consultation resources and the crisis escalation and hospital referral procedures are initiated.
[0043] In this embodiment, objective indicators are interpreted using a large model and specially designed prompts to form "objective indicators + explainable causes + suggested paths." Suggestions for coaching, companionship, and interviews are generated for L1-L2 levels; and action orders are generated for L3-L4 levels for manual review and management. Simultaneously, intelligent scheduling and referral are performed based on the grading results and resource pool (available consultants, time slots, and channels), with full traceability. During scheduling, the target, action path, and expected outcomes are generated into scheduling entries and a traceable queue, supporting priority rules (crisis > severe > moderate > mild). One-click appointments or referrals are available for AI coaching / companionship / interviews / human consultations / hotlines; to prevent harassment, cooldown time windows and concurrency limits are set.
[0044] In this embodiment, it also includes: S6, conducting highly empathetic structured interviews based on individual risk levels and initial screening reports, and generating interview transcripts, interview highlights, and structured interview reports.
[0045] Specifically, a standardized psychological interview is conducted using a highly empathetic style, collecting information based on 30 frequently asked questions by counselors and AI screening results; a structured AI interview report is automatically generated.
[0046] It should be noted that the highly empathetic structured interview utilizes the large model Prompt (interview execution), specifically set as follows: Role: You are a psychotherapist with high empathy and structured interviewing skills.
[0047] Objective: To cover 30 frequently asked questions in a gentle, neutral, and non-judgmental tone, sequentially or as needed, with 1-2 follow-up questions if necessary; to provide a "skip" option for sensitive questions. Upon encountering high-risk semantics, stop follow-up questions and trigger a safety loop. After each question, wait for the user's response and record the verbatim transcript and key points.
[0048] Output: Three objects are continuously maintained in the background of the session: transcript, key points, and report.
[0049] Termination criteria: Coverage of 30 questions ≥ 80% or the user wishes to terminate; a structured interview report and recommended actions will then be generated.
[0050] In this embodiment, it also includes: using an AI-supervised intelligent agent to perform real-time ethical compliance verification on the real-person consultation process based on a structured interview report, generating sentence-by-sentence suggestions and an overall score; using a companion and question-solving intelligent agent to provide daily companionship services based on the individual's risk level, and to execute dialogue strategies such as empathic reflection, interpretation clarification, attribution reconstruction, micro-goal setting, and debriefing reminders; and using a targeted push training intelligent agent to generate virtual scenario role-playing training based on statistical results of the group's four-dimensional topic risk vector, and to dynamically adjust the training difficulty.
[0051] Specifically, for real-person psychological counseling, the purpose of AI supervision is to assess the counselor's capabilities and provide professional advice. Therefore, the client's AI screening results serve as pre-training material for the AI supervisor, enabling full-process observation throughout the counseling process. Based on the general framework and ethical guidelines for psychological counseling supervision (boundaries, informed consent, confidentiality, risk prioritization, non-judgment, and multicultural sensitivity), AI supervision suggestions are generated for experts to review and verify with a single click. Each AI / councilor statement generates a suggestion and compliance verification tag, and an overall score is compiled, generating a verbatim transcript, sentence-by-sentence suggestions, an overall score, and improvement points. A real-time safety sentinel function is also provided: taboo word and boundary-crossing pattern recognition, high-risk intent detection, and alerts.
[0052] In this embodiment, targeting a group (school / community / enterprise), based on the entire chain of data from screening, companionship, interviews, and supervision, the system identifies commonly weak psychological capacity dimensions. Weekly practice sessions with mini-lessons and virtual scenario exercises are generated to improve the group's psychological resilience and coping skills. The weakness dimension mining first calculates the mean and hit rate of each dimension based on the four-dimensional risk vector statistics of the group and individuals, and then uses keyword co-occurrence networks from interviews and companionship dialogues, along with supervisory markers (such as "avoidance" and "over-labeling"), to pinpoint high-frequency weaknesses. Subsequently, clustering methods are used to group members within the target group, resulting in actionable population profiles. A rule supplement layer is then introduced to filter candidate topics according to the policy whitelists and blacklists of schools / communities / enterprises, ensuring compliance and suitability. In the topic generation stage, a topic library (such as "exam anxiety," "public speaking," and "interdepartmental conflict") is used for enhanced matching, and then large-scale model prompts are used to generate AI character dialogue to create virtual scenarios. The virtual scenario exercise unfolds through conversational role-playing: the user plays "I," while the intelligent agent plays "leader / classmate / family member." The system dynamically adjusts follow-up questions and emotional intensity based on feedback, hesitation duration, and error rate. The entire process incorporates built-in content security and ethical constraints: topic intensity thresholds, blacklisted words, and a mechanism for "exiting / skipping questions" at any time to prevent secondary harm.
[0053] In this embodiment, the role settings of the large model system related to the AI supervisory agent are constrained as follows: You are a senior psychological counseling supervisor, familiar with supervision techniques, ethical guidelines (informed consent, confidentiality, boundaries, risk prioritization, multicultural sensitivity, non-judgmental attitude), and key points of structured interviews. Your task is to supervise and assess the quality of the entire conversation, generating sentence-by-sentence suggestions and a post-meeting summary. It is imperative to be objective, neutral, and respectful of the client; prioritize identifying risk scenarios; and output results that strictly conform to the specified format.
[0054] In this embodiment, highly empathetic and accessible daily emotional support, psychological Q&A, and knowledge explanations are provided to individual clients. The system automatically retrieves their screening (L0-L4), interview reports, and supervisory suggestions as context, ensuring continuous, personalized support. This highly empathetic support dialogue aims to provide continuous and gentle emotional support and psychological assistance to individual clients. On one hand, it includes a built-in scale popularization and knowledge base, as well as plain-language explanations of common psychological terms, along with immediately applicable coping techniques (such as breathing exercises, behavioral activation, and exposure-response prevention). On the other hand, it combines dynamic information from the individual (including the client's risk level, risk vector, key event timeline, and the desensitized, publicly available portion of supervisory suggestions) with a dialogue strategy of "empathic reflection → interpretation and clarification → attribution reconstruction → micro-goal setting → review and reminders" to generate a personalized and actionable help path in real time. The specific working method of this embodiment is as follows: You are a health assistant who provides continuous support. Prioritize expressing empathy and use concise, non-judgmental language to communicate with the visitor. You are already aware of the visitor's profile and summaries of their recent screenings, interviews, and supervision. This information is only used for personalized expression and matching suggestions, and it is strictly forbidden to expose any specific identifiable private details. When the visitor asks about scales or terms, please provide easy-to-understand explanations and offer 1-3 actionable steps. When high-risk expressions are detected (identified by a dictionary and classifier), you must immediately trigger the safety handling process, first stabilize the emotions, and then provide localized emergency resources and help channels. Each response should clearly state the next steps and support setting reminders for subsequent review and continuous follow-up.
[0055] Example 1: Physiological signal data of user A (male) is collected through wearable hardware. Specifically, the root mean square (RMSSD) of the difference between adjacent heartbeats and the heart rate (HR) are calculated using the waveform output by a finger clip-on photoplethysmography (FPPC) sensor; the standard deviation of blood oxygen saturation is calculated by outputting the corresponding blood oxygen saturation value per second from a blood oxygen saturation sensor. Brainwaves are collected using an electroencephalogram (EEG) sensor. "Energy and" "Energy, based on brainwaves" "Energy and" "Energy calculation" Bandwidth power and The ratio of bandwidth power.

Speech rate features and fundamental frequency features are extracted from the voice data, where the fundamental frequency feature is the highest frequency in the collected voice data. The average intensity of frowning actions is extracted from the facial video signals; specifically, the average intensity is the proportion of frowning frames to total video frames within the acquisition time.
[0057] By performing semantic analysis on the text using a large language model, the text can be directly output as a risk value for depression, anxiety, stress, and crisis.
[0058] Specifically, the physiological signal data collected in this embodiment includes: the root mean square (RMSSD) of the difference between adjacent heartbeat intervals (28) and the standard deviation of blood oxygen saturation. 0.25 and Bandwidth power and The ratio of frequency band power is 0.58; semantic analysis of the text using a large language model yields the following results: text depression risk value is 0.8, text anxiety risk value is 0.9, text stress risk value is 0.9, and text crisis level risk value is 0.07; based on behavioral signal data and text signal data, the following features are calculated: speech rate feature is 5.6, average frowning intensity is 0.3, and fundamental frequency feature... The value is 97; the specific values for each weighting coefficient are: The value is 0.25. The value is 0.25. The value is 0.15. The value can be 0.15 and... The value is 0.2; The value is 0.4.

[0059] In this embodiment, the preset threshold sequence is specifically as follows: When 0 ≤ R < 0.2, it is judged as a healthy level; when 0.2 ≤ R < 0.4, it is judged as a mild level. When 0.4 ≤ R < 0.6, it is judged as moderate level; when 0.6 ≤ R < 0.8, it is judged as severe level; when the total risk value is greater than or equal to 0.8, it is judged as crisis level.
[0060] The specific formula for calculating the depression risk value in this embodiment is as follows:
[0061] Therefore, the depression risk value in this embodiment is 0.45.
[0062] The specific formula for calculating the anxiety risk value in this embodiment is as follows: ; Therefore, the anxiety risk value in this embodiment is 0.66.
[0063] The specific formula for calculating the pressure load risk value in this embodiment is as follows: ; Therefore, the pressure load risk value in this embodiment is 0.62.
[0064] In this embodiment, the value of the crisis warning risk value directly depends on the text crisis level risk value, that is, the crisis warning risk value in this embodiment is 0.07.
[0065] The specific formula for calculating the total risk value in this embodiment is as follows: ; Therefore, the total risk value of this embodiment is 0.49.
[0066] Based on the specific value of the total risk score, the individual risk level can be determined as mild. The initial screening report is automatically generated as follows: "A has depression, anxiety and stress, and it is recommended to conduct AI interviews, provide training and companionship; there is no immediate crisis."
[0067] Reference Figure 3 The present invention proposes an AI-based psychological counseling system, comprising: The data acquisition module is used to collect physiological signal data, behavioral signal data, text signal data, and individual attribute data of an individual, including at least gender. The first processing module is used to extract physiological features from physiological signal data, behavioral features from behavioral signal data, and text features from text signal data. Based on the physiological features, behavioral features, and text features, and in combination with the individual attribute data, it calculates depression risk value, anxiety risk value, stress load risk value, and crisis warning risk value respectively to form a four-dimensional subject risk vector. The second processing module is used to calculate the total risk value based on the four-dimensional subject risk vector; The third processing module is used to compare the total risk value with a preset threshold sequence to determine the individual risk level, which includes health level, mild level, moderate level, severe level and crisis level.
