✨ Thank You to Our Brilliant Speakers and Panellists at the AI and Mental Health Conference!✨ A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for the AI and Mental Health Conference! Together, we took on some of the toughest questions facing society today: can artificial intelligence, machine learning, and robotics reshape mental health care to reach those who need it most? With the mental health crisis growing, especially in underserved areas, innovative solutions are more important than ever. The event was a rich blend of expertise and perspectives, made possible by thought-provoking talks from: 🔹 Prof. Trevor Robbins (University of Cambridge), for his opening address 🔹 Dr. Ana Catarino (ieso Group), discussing AI's potential in transforming psychotherapy 🔹 Prof. Andrea Cipriani (University of Oxford), on the PETRUSHKA tool for personalised antidepressant treatment 🔹 Prof. Hatice Gunes (University of Cambridge), on the role of social robots in child mental wellbeing And a big thank you to Catherine Galloway (Kavli Centre for Ethics, Science, and the Public) for moderating our panel on the ethical and societal implications of AI in mental health, joined by Prof. Andrea Cipriani, Prof. Anna Moore, Louise Croft (Ogma), and Valentin Tablan (ieso Group). It was inspiring to witness the collective expertise of our speakers, the meaningful discussions, and the insights shared around innovation and responsibility in mental health care. Thank you again to all our speakers, panellists, and attendees for being part of this important conversation. Let’s keep working together to innovate with empathy and purpose! #AI #MentalHealth #CHIA #MentalHealthCare #CambridgeUniversity #HumanInspiredAI

🧠 Ethical and equitable AI for mental health: Opportunities & barriers 🧠 Yesterday I had the pleasure of speaking alongside Valentin Tablan, Prof Andrea Cipriani, and Prof Anna Moore on a panel about the ethics of AI in Mental Health, facilitated by the incredible Catherine Galloway as part of Centre for Human-Inspired Artificial Intelligence (CHIA) at the University of Cambridge. I came away with a lot of ideas whirling around my head, here’s a few of them: 🧠 A New Mental Health Paradigm: Imagine a mental health system that’s proactive, ambient, and responsive—using large-scale behavioural, biometric, and linguistic data to monitor well-being. This AI-driven ecosystem would identify early warning signs through subtle biomarkers, supporting individuals with well-timed “nudges” to guide them towards positive mental health practices. By shifting mental health from a crisis-driven model to one woven into daily life, AI could make mental wellness as routine as physical health. (postscript: I’m particularly excited about this idea, as long as I ignore the slightly-gnawing potential-minority report-esque scenarios - but let’s just leave our Black Mirror hats off for now and focus on the opportunity). 👧 Supporting Young Minds Through Play and Empowerment: For children, therapy can feel like something that is “done to them.” Human-centric, child-centred AI can make mental health feel like a journey they actively shape. This playful, child-led approach fosters a sense of agency and empowerment, introducing mental health as an engaging, accessible part of life. 🌍 Rethinking Funding for Equitable Access: Much of the digital divide conversation centres on access to tech and infrastructure, but this event raised a vital point about how funding flows in AI can drive inequality. We need new funding models that free social entrepreneurs from the aggressive '10x' growth demands of traditional VC, allowing them to prioritise societal impact. Impact VC prioritises impact AS MUCH AS profit, but is there a scenario where investors are happy to receive more modest financial returns in favour of '10x' societal returns?? If not, public funding and social investments could drive equitable innovation, supporting communities who most need solutions but are often overlooked. 🤝 Steering AI Towards Ethical and Equitable Solutions To guide AI towards ethical, inclusive outcomes, collaboration is key. Social entrepreneurs, healthcare providers, academics and equality-focused investors each bring essential perspectives that can steer innovation away from market-driven priorities and towards societal value. Here's my two pennies worth. Thanks to all the inspiring talks yesterday that helped form the above ideas. And thanks to John Suckling for inviting me to jump on the panel.

😢 Sometimes, I feel like children are an afterthought—or worse, forgotten altogether—in design 😢 ♥ But when we truly put children at the centre, amazing things happen. At Ogma, we’re inspired by organisations that do just that, crafting solutions that nurture kids' growth and well-being. Here’s how leaders in the field are shaping the future with child-centred design. 🟥 LEGO Foundation: Learning Through Play The LEGO Foundation champions play-based learning. Through initiatives like RITEC, they show how play—whether physical or digital—can enhance children’s social, emotional, and cognitive development. ⭐ Fam Studio: Designing for Wonder Fam Studio involves children directly in the design process, creating magical, interactive experiences that are both engaging and meaningful. At Ogma, we share this vision—our therapy tools are designed to be as fun as they are effective. 🔠 Sesame Workshop: Educating Through Entertainment Sesame Workshop has mastered the art of teaching through entertainment. With inclusive, research-backed shows like Sesame Street, they prove how thoughtful content can positively shape children's social and emotional skills. 🌱 IDEO: Human-Centred Design IDEO’s human-centred approach is rooted in empathy and co-creation. Their work with Sesame Workshop highlights the impact of design that puts children’s needs first, transforming educational environments. 🌎 Why Child-Centred Design Matters These leaders prove that when children are prioritised, the results are transformative. 🧒 Child-centred design at Ogma We're constantly inspired by the children we work with here at Ogma. Here's some snaps 📸 from one of our Discovery Den sessions with some 4-6 year olds. They helped us design their ideal therapist. From a crazy, fun puppy named Cupcake, with super powers of confidence and ideas 💡, to a Yin-full Minion full of strength and love 🧘♀️. Their ideas certainly opened up our minds and showed us new ways to design our therapeutic agents.
