MHCCSVI Research and Data

Led by Principal Investigator & Program Research Partner Dr. Tammy Hughes of Duquesne University, the MHCCSVI program will empower an innovative study on leveraging conversational AI and advanced automation to help researchers and clinicians significantly scale the delivery of digital health interventions.

Dr. Hughes will lead the efforts to document and publish outcomes related to this new approach to addressing behavioral health for school age youth. This new collaboration consisting of Community Violence Intervention organization supported by the mySHO+Scalable Care digital therapeutic support tool, integrated with telehealth features that aid mental health professionals and unifies AIU school districts and CVI organization ability to provide a continuum of care.

The mySHO+Scalable Care platform streamlines the design, management, and execution of digital health programs for research and removes the technical hurdles that typically block a promising new application from becoming a real option for clinical practice. 

This platform is particularly well suited for mental and behavioral health interventions but can be expanded to support a variety of digital health applications.

As part of a mySHO engagement, we will provide mental health data generated by end user’s use of the MHCCSVI program (De-Identified and HIPAA compliant) via an online digital dashboard to the data partners listed below. This effort will demonstrate the efficacy of the program and provide state and local governments real-time / real-world mental health data reports that provide insight in the form of demographic trends and geographical patterns of our youth’s social & emotional needs.
