Objectives: The aim of this technical report was to assess whether the "Radiological Report" tool within the Artificial Intelligence (AI) software Diagnocat can achieve a satisfactory level of performance comparable to that of experienced dentomaxillofacial radiologists in interpreting cone-beam CT scans.
Methods: Ten cone-beam CT scans were carefully selected and analyzed using the AI tool, and they were also evaluated by two dentomaxillofacial radiologists. Observations related to tooth numeration, alterations in dental crowns, roots, and periodontal tissues were documented and subsequently compared to the AI findings. Kappa statistics, along with their corresponding 95% confidence intervals, were calculated to ascertain the degree of agreement.
Results: The agreement between the AI tool and the radiologists ranged from substantial to nearly perfect for identifying teeth, determining the number of roots and canals, assessing crown conditions, and detecting endodontic treatments. However, for tasks such as classifying bone loss, identifying posts, evaluating the quality of fillings, and appraising the situation of periodontal spaces, the agreement was deemed slight.
Conclusions: The "radiological report" tool of the Diagnocat demonstrates satisfactory performance in reliably identifying teeth, roots, canals, assessing crown conditions, and detecting endodontic treatment. However, further investigations are needed to evaluate the tool's effectiveness in diagnosing posts, assessing the condition and quality of fillings, and determining the status of periodontal spaces.

Background: Depression significantly impacts an individual's thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and moods; this prevalent mental health condition affects millions globally. Traditional approaches to detecting and treating depression rely on questionnaires and personal interviews, which can be time consuming and potentially inefficient. As social media has permanently shifted the pattern of our daily communications, social media postings can offer new perspectives in understanding mental illness in individuals because they provide an unbiased exploration of their language use and behavioral patterns.

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into health communication systems has introduced a transformative approach to public health management, particularly during public health emergencies, capable of reaching billions through familiar digital channels. This paper explores the utility and implications of generalist conversational artificial intelligence (CAI) advanced AI systems trained on extensive datasets to handle a wide range of conversational tasks across various domains with human-like responsiveness. The specific focus is on the application of generalist CAI within messaging services, emphasizing its potential to enhance public health communication.

Background: Patient engagement is a critical but challenging public health priority in behavioral health care. During telehealth sessions, health care providers need to rely predominantly on verbal strategies rather than typical nonverbal cues to effectively engage patients. Hence, the typical patient engagement behaviors are now different, and health care provider training on telehealth patient engagement is unavailable or quite limited.
