Overview

Conversational AI now reaches patients directly, through mental health chatbots, symptom triage, and intake platforms, and is among the least regulated applications of language models in medicine. Dr. Jacobson led the development of Therabot, the first generative AI therapy chatbot to complete a randomized controlled trial, published in NEJM AI in 2025. This session follows that tool through its full course, from clinical need through design, fine-tuning, trial, and safety monitoring, and sets it against the wider landscape of triage and symptom-collection systems.
