Dartmouth Builds Its Own AI Chatbot for Student Well-Being
The undergrad-assisted research project will draw on students’ data to provide chatbot support and personalized plans for health and wellness.
Dartmouth College is developing a new student-facing AI-powered chatbot to improve mental health and thriving on campus.
A team of 130 undergraduate researchers are helping faculty develop the app, Evergreen, by examining relevant research and making the bot more conversational to student users.
The goal is to leverage artificial intelligence to provide personalized interventions for students, considering their needs, habits and overall health goals, said Nicholas Jacobson, associate professor of biomedical data science and psychiatry and one of the project leaders.
