How AI Expands Care When Care Demands Continue to Rise

In a recent piece published by Medical Device and Diagnostic Industry (MD+DI), Loren Larsen explores how artificial intelligence can expand access to behavioral health care amid growing demand and persistent workforce shortages. The article introduces the concept of the “human understanding gap”—the critical insights lost between clinical visits—and shows how AI can bridge that gap without replacing human connection. Through real-world examples, it illustrates how thoughtfully implemented AI tools can enhance monitoring, improve outcomes, and amplify the capacity of existing clinical teams. As the field looks toward scalable solutions, this article serves as both a call to action and a vision for the future of compassionate, tech-enabled care. Read the full article here.
