Marta Maslej

Dr. Maslej's research draws on interdisciplinary methods to investigate applications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in mental health, with three aims: 1) improving care, by deriving insights from patient data for clinical decision support or using AI to improve mental health services; 2) mitigating harm, by evaluating AI systems to understand how social and systemic biases impact their outputs; and 3) supporting implementation, by studying human factors related to AI integration, with a focus on teaming, or the collaborative use of AI by providers.

A key aim is to develop AI applications that are equitable and optimized for the clinical settings in which they are embedded. Other research initiatives involve increasing access to sociodemographic data to support fair AI applications, as well as collaborations on large cohort studies, which aim to understand functional trajectories in schizophrenia spectrum disorders, suicide prevention, and digital factors contributing to youth mental health.
