AI Chatbot Shows No Anxiety or Depression Benefit in Maternal Health Trial

The study, published in JAMA Network Open, enrolled pregnant and postpartum participants with generally low starting symptom scores. The AI chatbot provided health advice and reminders, with human support from a clinical social worker.
