1. A computer-implemented method for performing real-time therapy improvements, the therapy comprising psychotherapy or cognitive behavioral therapy for one or more patients with a mental health disorder, the method comprising:
obtaining, at a computing system, data comprising audio data relating to a therapy session between a therapist and the patients;
extracting, via the computing system, text data from the audio data to form a transcript;
dividing, via the computing system, the transcript into a plurality of utterances;
using, at the computing system, at least a first part of a deep learning model to assign a semantic representation to each of the plurality of utterances to produce a plurality of assigned utterances;
compiling, via the computing system, the plurality of assigned utterances to form a representation of the therapy session;
using, at the computing system, at least a second part of a deep learning model, and an input comprising the representation of the therapy session, to obtain an output predicting a characteristic of the therapist, and/or the therapy, and/or the one or more patients;
outputting, in real-time during the therapy session and from the computing system, an alert comprising feedback to a therapist of the therapy session, the feedback recommending one or more actions based at least in part on the output, wherein the feedback is determined to improve the therapy for the one or more patients with the mental health disorder,
wherein the one or more actions comprises adjusting via an increase or a decrease of a frequency of utterances belonging to each of a plurality of categories determined to affect a therapeutic quality of the therapy, wherein the frequency of utterances for each category is adjusted to an improved therapeutic amount determined based at least in part on the output and corresponding to the therapy; and
taking the one or more actions relating to the therapy, and wherein the one or more actions relating to the therapy are taken in real-time whilst the therapy session is ongoing.
