During the COVID-19 pandemic, Telepsychiatry, delivered through consumer video conferencing applications, provided a timely and much-needed solution to provision of mental health care whilst preserving social distancing. Concomitantly, it's utilization dramatically increased, achieving near ubiquity by the end of 2021\. Telepsychiatry is now routinely used to remotely perform many of the standard functions of Psychiatry. In light of this new found importance, multiple studies have assessed the reliability and efficacy of Telepsychiatry in both rural and urban populations and these studies have found that it provides unparalleled convenience for both Patient and Clinician. However, qualitative studies have also allowed Psychiatrists to express concerns about the possible drawbacks of Telepsychiatry including the fact that communication through a small 2D video screen inhibits the ease of building the therapeutic alliance and difficulty reading nonverbal communications. Further, a session is more likely to be rewarding when the technology is simple to use and works seamlessly and it is for this reason that medical devices tend to be single use. Thus, it is our intention, in this feasibility study, to create a bespoke, tailored, Telepsychiatry platform that shall overcome the limitations of the extant crop of general-purpose technologies, shoehorned into service as Telepsychiatry applications. We shall achieve this end by designing and building a single use Telepsychiatry Appliance employing a unique, novel, volumetric video streaming technology. The device shall provide both remote parties with high resolution, holographic video communication, emulating face-to-face meeting, dissolving the inhibitory medium to establish stronger rapport between Clinician and Patient. The single use device shall be intuitive to use and furnished with redundant layers of IP networking. We shall also design a partner cloud based, networking infra-structure to facilitate secure and robust video and data streaming, whilst acting as an adaptor into the NHS administrative infrastructure. This novel platform, in its entirety, shall be designed to provide the next leap forward in Telepsychiatry.

Large language models such as ChatGPT have recently undergone a step-change in their user-perceived efficacy, and as such they have caught the attention of journalists and then the imagination of the general public. These A.I. systems appear to deliver responses to user-posed questions that are both informative and delivered with substantial expertise. The application of this nascent, yet extraordinarily useful, technical breakthrough across whole ranges of industries is only starting to become apparent. Large language models are effective since they capture and codify, in their models, significant portions of all human knowledge, through the process of ingesting the entirety of the World-Wide-Web. The resultant models are staggeringly large (for example, ChatGPT3 contains some 175 billion parameters) and thus, these models take months to train and use a great deal of power to run. It is our intention to build a Chat-GPT like large language model A.I. system that utilises a quantum calculation engine. The system shall employ a fundamentally different processing, model and systems architecture to current systems, leading to a step change in the efficiency and power of the resultant system. We shall build software to run such a system and demonstrate its increased efficiency in both training models, which shall be much more energy efficient during the training process, and in speed of execution and energy use when in operation. These benchmarks shall be performed against the requirements of the NLP and voice processing industry as understood by the consortium.
