MINORIA APPLICATION

This application ensures SLMs provide consistent, evidence-aligned support while respecting the complexity of PTSD care—bridging gaps in accessibility without compromising clinical rigor.

Use Cases

  • Screening Tool: The app collects patient histories via culturally adapted questionnaires 5.
  • Treatment Support: SLMs suggest personalized coping strategies aligned with CBT protocols 4.
  • Resource Allocation: Predictive analytics identify phenotypes needing targeted outreach 7.

Scenario Design Principles

Diverse Trauma Personas

  • Scenarios cover PTSD subtypes (e.g., combat, assault, disaster trauma) and demographic variations (age, cultural background) to improve generalization2.
  • Example: TIDE dataset’s 500 synthetic personas with tailored linguistic markers (e.g., avoidance semantics in abuse survivors)2.

Three-Factor Empathy Framework

Scenarios train models to:

  1. Recognize emotion: Identify distress cues like hypervigilance (“I can’t stop checking the locks”)2.
  2. Normalize distress: Validate experiences without pathologizing (“Your reaction makes sense given what happened”)2.
  3. Reflect supportively: Suggest evidence-based strategies (grounding techniques from CBT)1.

Clinical Validation Workflow

Psychologist Review

  • All synthetic dialogues are vetted for:
    • Emotional plausibility: Aligns with DSM-5 PTSD criteria1.
    • Trauma sensitivity: Avoids retraumatizing language (e.g., explicit details of abuse)2.
    • Cultural relevance: Adapts responses to minority communication styles2.

Bias Mitigation

Scenarios include adversarial examples to reduce harmful generalizations (e.g., avoiding assumptions about gender-based trauma)2.

Training Objectives

Contextual Response Generation

  • Models learn to adjust replies based on:
    • Trauma phase: Acute crisis vs. long-term management1.
    • Support type: Emotional validation vs. skill-building1.

Ethical Guardrails

  • Scenarios enforce boundaries:
    • Prohibit treatment recommendations beyond first-aid support.
    • Redirect high-risk disclosures to human professionals2.

Evaluation & Iteration

Human Feedback Loops

  • Clinicians rate responses on:
    • Safety: 94% reduction in harmful outputs post-fine-tuning2.
    • Cultural competence: 37% improvement for minority dialect handling2.

Adaptive Learning

Models update via federated learning using anonymized clinician corrections (e.g., refining hyperarousal responses)2.
