arXiv:2607. 19075v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The rapid growth of the global aging population presents severe challenges to healthcare systems, necessitating efficient, equitable, and patient-centered care models.
arXiv:2607. 02245v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Mental health disorders affect nearly one billion people globally, yet 75% of individuals in low- and middle-income countries receive no treatment due to workforce shortages, cost barriers, and stigma.
The article surveys how large language models (LLMs) are being applied to mental health, outlining a three‑phase evolution: Phase I uses LLMs as passive information tools and pattern recognizers for assessment; Phase II employs them as empathetic conversationalists for stateless, in‑the‑moment interactions; Phase III aims to create longitudinal, personalized companions that act as stateful cognitive agents. It systematically reviews core technologies, agent architectures (Profile, Memory, Reasoning, Planning), and the datasets and benchmarks that support this progression, offering a coherent narrative and roadmap for future research. The survey also provides a curated resource list at https://github.com/Emo-gml/Awesome-Mental-Health-LLMs.
WoundAIssist is an AI‑driven mobile application designed to support remote chronic wound care for elderly patients. It allows patients to capture wound images and complete questionnaires at home, while physicians monitor progress through remote video consultations and on‑device deep‑learning segmentation. A usability study involving patients and dermatologists found the app to be highly usable, of good quality, and positively received for its AI‑driven wound recognition.
arXiv:2606. 03876v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: With the growing prevalence of modern ubiquitous computing technologies, multi-modal tracking systems hold promise for providing timely awareness and reassurance to stakeholders such as remote family members (RFMs) of older adults, who play a central role in care coordination.
arXiv:2606. 10208v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Demand for older-adult and patient care is growing rapidly as populations age worldwide.
arXiv:2606. 07542v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Generative AI is reshaping healthcare, yet most existing advances rely on hospital-grade devices, which limits their accessibility and potential for health management outside clinical settings.
arXiv:2511.11689v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Generative AI chatbots built for mental health could extend access to care, but evidence from real-world use is limited. We report a single-a...
arXiv:2606. 14306v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Current Generative AI (GenAI) interfaces remain largely constrained to chatbox interaction, which can impose high cognitive demands on users and create substantial barriers for people with intellectual disabilities (ID), including prompt formulation difficulties, response overload, and limited mechanisms to assess information reliability.
