ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: This study examines the feasibility and acceptability of an AI-led digital mental health intervention in a Workers' Compensation (WC) program, Wysa for Return to Work. METHODS: Self-reported demographic data and responses to psychosocial screening questions were analyzed alongside participants' app usage through which four key outcomes were measured: recruitment rate, onboarding rate, retention, and engagement. RESULTS: The data demonstrated a high need for psychosocial interventions among injured workers, especially women, young adults, and those with high severity injuries. Those with more psychosocial risk factors had a higher rate of onboarding, retention, and engagement, and those with severe injuries had higher retention. CONCLUSIONS: Our study concluded that Wysa for Return to Work, the AI-led digital mental health intervention that delivers a recovery program using a digital conversational agent, is feasible and acceptable for a return-to-work population.
