What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Depression is a leading cause of disability worldwide, affecting up to 300 million people globally. Despite its high prevalence and debilitating effects, only one-third of patients newly diagnosed with depression initiate treatment. Electronic cognitive behavioural therapy (e-CBT) is an effective treatment for depression and is a feasible solution to make mental health care more accessible. Due to its online format, e-CBT can be combined with variable therapist engagement to address different care needs. Typically, a multi-professional care team determines which combination therapy is the most beneficial to the patient. However, this process can add to the costs of these programs. Artificial intelligence (AI) technology has been proposed to offset these costs. Therefore, this study aims to determine a cost-effective method to decrease depressive symptoms and increase treatment adherence
