Preparing a pilot to evaluate AI-assisted mental-health support in a real-world setting.

A structured, supervised study of the InTune model.

InTune is preparing a pilot study to evaluate the model of AI-assisted mental-health support and its implementation in a real-world setting.

Professor Golan Shahar will lead the professional and academic aspects of the pilot, including university approvals, ethics committee approval, the treatment program, and professional supervision throughout the pilot.

Teaching assistants working with Professor Shahar will support the research and operational aspects of the project, including literature review, identifying suitable Participants, training Supporters, and the ongoing coordination of the support process under Professor Shahar's professional supervision.

The pilot is planned to include:

Support will be provided through video sessions, using a dedicated video-conferencing application developed specifically for InTune.

One session per week, for 12–16 weeks.

Each Participant will receive one support session per week.

The planned intervention will consist of approximately 12–16 sessions for each Participant.

Following each session, both the Supporter and the Participant will complete a questionnaire.

The questionnaires will help evaluate:

• The Participant's condition and progress
• The quality of the support
• The effectiveness of the intervention
• The experience of both Participants and Supporters

Assessing whether the model works.

At the end of the 12–16 session period, the collected data will be analyzed to evaluate the outcomes of the pilot.

The results will help assess whether the InTune model can provide effective, structured, and scalable mental-health support, while also informing the continued development of the platform and its methodology.

Who is leading the pilot.

From recruitment to evaluation.

The pilot is intended to provide a structured environment in which the InTune model can be tested, evaluated, and refined.
