KKivira Research & Impact
Kivira Research

Making mental health measurable — so we can see it coming, and still have time to help.

Five recent studies from Kivira Health and its academic and clinical partners, each on a different link in the chain between a person in difficulty and the care that reaches them.

AI Safety Someone in crisis is typing to a chatbot right now. We tested 125 AI configurations to see which ones notice.

K-Bench measures whether AI models recognise and explore suicide, self-harm, domestic-violence and substance-misuse risk as it emerges across a conversation.

Care Delivery Mental illness can take up to 23 years to reach a clinician. A new reference standard sets out how technology can close the gap.

Psychiatrists, researchers and health-system leaders define what technology-powered mental health assessment should be able to do.

Evidence Quality Before a treatment reaches you, someone should check the study behind it. We checked 2,448.

Kurate compares clinical papers with their own registrations and protocols, and grades evidence quality at corpus scale.

Social Cognition An established face set used in mental health research shows only White faces. We tested an AI alternative.

Diverse AI-generated faces were recognised clearly and tracked symptoms comparably to an established photo set, across 1,047 people.

Sustainable AI Safer mental health AI shouldn’t have to cost the earth. We measured the trade-off across 47 AI configurations.

Combining K-Bench safety scores with life-cycle estimates shows the last few points of clinical safety carry a steep environmental cost. Accepted to ACM SusMod.
