Pilot

Overview

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

The pilot is led by Amit Weissenstern together with Professor Golan Shahar.

Professor Shahar will lead the professional and academic aspects, 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 work, including literature review, identifying suitable Participants, training Supporters, and coordinating the support process under his professional supervision.

Pilot structure

The pilot is planned to include:

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

Sessions

Each Participant will receive one support session per week. The planned intervention will consist of approximately 12–16 sessions per Participant.

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

Evaluation

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

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