A non-randomized feasibility study of a voice assistant for parents to support their children's mental health.

Background: Mental disorders affect one in seven Australian children and although effective, evidenced based treatments exist, there is a critical shortage of mental health clinicians which has created a "treatment gap." Artificial intelligence has the potential to address the high prevalence rates of mental disorders within overburdened mental health systems.

Methods: This was a non-randomized feasibility study to evaluate the novel application of voice technology to an evidence-based parenting intervention designed to support children's mental health.
