Mental & Behavioural Health AI

Building AI that supports mental health without causing harm

Industry Challenge | SCILabel

Industry Challenge

Mental health AI — from crisis detection tools to therapy assistants and mood prediction models — carries the highest stakes in healthcare AI. Errors can cost lives. These models require annotators with genuine clinical sensitivity, careful training in safe messaging, and rigorous red-teaming to identify harmful outputs before deployment.

How SCILabel Serves This Industry

Data Collection

We source anonymised mental health assessment records, crisis helpline transcripts (consented and de-identified), psychotherapy session summaries, and patient-reported outcome measures from academic clinical psychology and psychiatry research partners.

Data Annotation & Labeling

Our most carefully selected clinical workforce annotates crisis and risk signals in text, sentiment and affect labels, clinical severity classifications (PHQ-9, GAD-7, Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale), and therapeutic dialogue quality labels. All annotators complete mandatory safe messaging training before accessing this data category.

Data & Model Evaluation

Track 3 (RLHF) and Track 5 (AI Safety) evaluators assess mental health AI outputs for clinical safety, safe messaging compliance (following AFSP/Samaritans guidelines), de-escalation quality, and crisis escalation accuracy. Red-team testers submit adversarial inputs mimicking crisis scenarios.

Annotation Types & Formats

  • Crisis signal detection in text: suicidal ideation, self-harm risk, acute distress
  • Clinical severity classification: PHQ-9, GAD-7, C-SSRS
  • Safe messaging compliance labeling on AI-generated responses
  • Sentiment, affect, and emotional valence annotation
  • Therapeutic alliance and empathy quality scoring

Specialist Workforce Tracks

Track 3 (RLHF) and Track 5 (AI Safety): Psychiatric Nurses, Counsellors-in-training, Clinical Researchers, Public Health Professionals — all completing mandatory safe messaging training.
