Each session carries three hidden severity signals in [0,1]:
D (depression cues from
text/voice),
A (anxiety cues) and
S (a rarer suicidality risk factor). The
classifier gate combines them into a single risk score with a logistic model:
R = σ(2.1·D + 1.8·A + 3.4·S − 3.0), σ(x) = 1 / (1 + e^-x)
Higher
Detection sensitivity lowers the decision threshold τ, so more borderline
sessions get flagged. Sessions with R below τ pass to a
digital therapist (CBT-style
chat) for self-guided support; sessions above τ are either escalated straight to a human
clinician, or — in Auto-respond mode — first triaged by the chatbot before a
high-confidence case is still escalated.
- Depression / Anxiety signal — mean severity of the simulated patient population
- Detection sensitivity — how aggressively the classifier flags borderline cases
- Therapist mode — auto-respond via chatbot first, or escalate flagged cases only
Illustrative model, not a clinical diagnostic tool. Same formulas as the 3D version.
