CAMS Relational Agent System for Suicide Prevention
This Phase I feasibility study endeavors to create a prototype of a tool to determine its
feasibility with suicidal patients in emergency departments (EDs). This is not a clinical
trial. The overarching goal of this research is to create a tool that could reduce suicide
rates, increase delivery of efficacious suicide interventions, and decrease overall costs
associated with suicidal behaviors. SBIR Phase I project aims include: (1) creating an
advisory board to guide the development of CAMS-RAS; (2) iteratively design and develop
relational agent ("Dr. Dave") modeled after the gestures, expressions, and mannerisms of CAMS
treatment developer, David Jobes, PhD; and (3) conduct feasibility tests to determine whether
CAMS-RAS is acceptable, easy to use, and liked by target end-users: acutely suicidal patients
admitted to hospital EDs, psychiatric inpatient units, and medical floors for treatment of
injuries sustained during a suicide attempt; hospital medical personnel, administrators, and
other stakeholders including peer advocates; and outpatient suicidal patients, clinicians and
administrators.
