First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether an AI-powered therapy program can help older adults (50+) living with HIV who are at risk for suicide. Participants watch short videos teaching coping skills and can chat with a coach. The goal is to see if this approach is practical and helps people manage difficult emotions.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

AI-delivered dialectical behavioral therapy (AI-DBT)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could provide a new, accessible way to help older adults with HIV manage suicidal thoughts and emotions.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early pilot study with only 50 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The AI therapy is new and may not work as well as in-person sessions.
