Developing evidence-based AI intervention tools for individuals with social phobia, creating safe exposure therapy through dynamic conversation technology
The SAFE Research Initiative addresses a critical gap in therapeutic exposure therapy by developing AI-powered interview simulation technology. Our approach provides a completely safe, controlled, and judgment-free environment where individuals with social phobia can practice interview scenarios before real-world exposure.
Addressing critical barriers to employment and career advancement for individuals with social anxiety through accessible, evidence-based intervention tools.
Dynamic conversation AI with voice interaction, CV-driven personalized question generation, and adaptive response pathways based on user anxiety indicators.
Building an international consortium of leading European research institutions for comprehensive clinical validation and deployment.
Our research focuses on four breakthrough technologies that create a therapeutic bridge between traditional therapy settings and real-world professional interactions
CV upload triggers customized interview scenarios with dynamic question sequencing based on user responses and adaptive difficulty progression
Natural voice-based interaction with context-aware follow-up questioning and emotional tone recognition for appropriate response modulation
Zero human judgment environment with infinite patience, controlled exposure progression, and complete privacy protection encouraging honest participation
Evidence-based approach using standardized anxiety assessment scales (GAD-7, SPIN) with multi-site clinical validation and long-term efficacy measurement
Functional MVP development with basic conversation capabilities, CV parsing algorithms, and voice interaction baseline implementation based on comprehensive literature analysis
Small-scale user testing with target population using standardized anxiety measurement protocols and iterative system refinement based on therapeutic outcomes
Multi-site clinical validation study with control group comparison to traditional exposure therapy and long-term follow-up for sustained benefit measurement
We are actively seeking research partners with complementary expertise for our EIC Pathfinder Open application and consortium formation
Anxiety disorders research, exposure therapy expertise, and therapeutic outcome measurement
Conversational AI, natural language processing, and human-computer interaction expertise
Technology acceptance research, privacy-preserving healthcare solutions, and AI ethics
