New Horizons in Higher Education: Examining the Mental Well-Being of Medical & Health Sciences Students Through the Use of Artificial Intelligence Based Chatbot Platforms in the United Arab Emirates – A Cross-Sectional Comparative Study

2025Open accessAlexandria University

Abstract

Among UAE health-sciences students, AI-chatbot use is common and associated with higher depression/anxiety severity; this likely reflects help-seeking rather than causation. Universities should integrate early, stigma-sensitive supports, potentially including regulated, evidence-based chatbot tools-within stepped-care services.
