Role of Artificial Intelligence in Supporting Student Wellbeing in Higher Education Institutions

Abstract

In today’s rapidly evolving technological environment, students and other stakeholders in the education system are experiencing increasing challenges related to mental health, stress, and maintaining a balanced state of body, mind, and spirit. Issues related to psychological wellbeing and overall wellness have become critical areas of concern within higher education institutions. A variety of digital mental health tools are now available to provide students with continuous, round-the-clock support for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a promising technological solution that can assist institutions in addressing the growing mental health concerns among college students. The integration of AI-based mental health tools within higher education systems has the potential to enhance accessibility, early detection, and timely intervention, thereby contributing to improved student wellbeing.
