Researchers have developed MentalHospital, a novel virtual environment designed to evaluate the performance of large language models (LLMs) in simulating complete psychiatric clinical encounters. This environment, which follows the Subjective Interviewing, Objective Examination, Diagnostic Assessment, and Treatment Planning (S.O.A.P.) workflow, utilizes standardized patients derived from over a thousand de-identified electronic health record cases. To scale expert judgment, they also created MentalEval, a set of five domain-specific evaluators trained using supervised fine-tuning and Direct Preference Optimization, which demonstrated strong alignment with human clinicians.
