However, their reliability degrades on out-of-distribution inputs, and traditional point-estimate predictors can give overconfident outputs even in regions where the model has little evidence. This shortcoming highlights the need for decision-support systems that quantify and communicate per-query epistemic (knowledge) uncertainty. Approximate Bayesian deep learning methods address this need by introducing principled uncertainty estimates over the model's function. In this work, we compare three such methods on the task of predicting prostate cancer-specific mortality for treatment planning, using data from the PLCO cancer screening trial. All approaches achieve strong discriminative performance (AUROC = 0.86) and produce well-calibrated probabilities in-distribution, yet they differ markedly in the fidelity of their epistemic uncertainty estimates. We show that implicit functional-prior methods-specifically neural network ensembles and factorized weight prior variational Bayesian neural networks-exhibit reduced fidelity when approximating the posterior distribution and yield systematically biased estimates of epistemic uncertainty. By contrast, models employing explicitly defined, distance-aware priors-such as spectral-normalized neural Gaussian processes (SNGP)-provide more accurate posterior approximations and more reliable uncertainty quantification. These properties make explicitly distance-aware architectures particularly promising for building trustworthy clinical decision-support tools.</p>","PeriodicalId":74465,"journal":{"name":"PLOS digital health","volume":"4 7","pages":"e0000801"},"PeriodicalIF":7.7,"publicationDate":"2025-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12306758/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144746404","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Overall, participants were highly satisfied with telehealth procedures and noted several advantages, including increased convenience, flexibility, and efficiency (e.g., reduced costs and travel time), improved service provision and access to timely care, and enhanced clinical effectiveness. However, certain disadvantages, such as technical difficulties, difficulties observing certain behaviors, perceived lack of accuracy, concerns about the family's role and safeguarding issues, among others, were also reported. Telehealth was believed to improve equity for some families (i.e., geographically remote families) while potentially disadvantaging others (i.e., socioeconomically disadvantaged families and those with limited English proficiency). Children who were older, less active, less medically and psychosocially complex and those with a clearer presentation of ASD were considered more suitable for a telehealth evaluation for ASD.

Self-report questionnaires are a common practice in clinical settings to help mitigate the challenges involved in mental health disorder screening. However, these questionnaires rely on an individual's subjective response which can be influenced by various factors. Despite the advancements of Large Language Models (LLMs), quantifying self-reported experiences with natural language processing has resulted in imperfect accuracy. This project aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of zero-shot learning LLMs for screening and assessing item scales for depression using LLMs. The DAIC-WOZ is a publicly available mental health dataset that contains textual data from clinical interviews and self-report questionnaires with relevant mental health disorder labels. The RISEN prompt engineering framework was utilized to evaluate LLMs' effectiveness in predicting depression symptoms based on individual PHQ-8 items. Various LLMs, including GPT models, Llama3_8B, Cohere, and Gemini were assessed based on performance. The GPT models, especially GPT-4o, were consistently better than other LLMs (Llama3_8B, Cohere, Gemini) across all eight items of the PHQ-8 scale in accuracy (M = 75.9%), and F1 score (0.74). GPT models were able to predict PHQ-8 items related to emotional and cognitive states. Llama 3_8B demonstrated superior detection of anhedonia-related symptoms and the Cohere LLM's strength was identifying and predicting psychomotor activity symptoms. This study provides a novel outlook on the potential of LLMs for predicting self-reported questionnaire scores from textual interview data. The promising preliminary performance of the various models indicates there is potential that these models could effectively assist in the screening of depression. Further research is needed to establish a framework for which LLM can be used for specific mental health symptoms and other disorders.

CBM-I is designed to shift interpretation biases common in anxiety by providing practice thinking about emotionally ambiguous situations in less threatening ways. Using data from 697 anxious community adults undergoing five weekly sessions of CBM-I in a clinical trial, we extracted program use markers based on task completion rate and time spent on training and assessment tasks.

Further, participants who generally spent less time on the program (including both training and assessment tasks) improved in negative interpretation bias (on one of two measures) significantly more during the training phase than those who spent more time (and post hoc tests found were significantly older and slightly less educated). However, participants who generally spent less time had a significant loss in training gains for negative bias (on both measures) by 2-month follow-up.
