MAPA-OCD is a computerized screening and clinical mapping tool for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) in adults. Based on a semi-structured interview and analyzed by artificial intelligence algorithms, MAPA-OCD provides accurate, interpretative clinical reports of high value for professional practice.

Target Audience and Applications

MAPA-OCD is intended for the assessment of adults (18+), and can be used in private practices, clinics, hospitals, research institutions, forensic contexts, neuropsychological settings, and mental health programs. The application is individual and can be conducted either in person or remotely by psychologists, psychiatrists, or other qualified mental health professionals.

How It Works

The professional conducts a semi-structured interview through the MAPA platform. The questions are guided, supported by psychoeducation, examples, and objective response criteria. The entire interview is recorded and automatically transcribed by AI, preserving the patient’s verbal content. AI identifies symptoms, clinical patterns, and nuances based on technical criteria. The algorithm uses few-shot learning and prompt engineering strategies to provide a sophisticated and contextualized interpretative analysis.

Clinical Report

The report is automatically generated, featuring clear language, clinical structure, and intuitive visuals. It can be saved, shared, or incorporated into medical records.
