Culturally Adapted AI Chatbot Targets Student Stress in Pakistan
Researchers built a chatbot that detects stress and offers wellness support tailored to Pakistani university students, whose pressures span academic, financial, family, and social domains. The work uses natural language processing and machine learning, arguing that existing digital mental health tools are designed mainly for Western contexts and may not transfer well. Details on data, model design, and evaluation are presented in the arXiv preprint.
