The ADA provides data access through the [ADA Dataverse](https://dataverse.ada.edu.au/). The collection includes polls on housing conditions in Australian states, political views over time across the country, questions about employment or health, and other datasets that the ADA has collected over the years (such as the Australian election study).

Beyond Harmony, AI is being used in a wide range of mental health research applications:

* **Predictive Modelling:** AI algorithms can analyze large datasets to identify patterns and predict future outcomes, such as the likelihood of a relapse or the effectiveness of a particular treatment.
* **Natural Language Processing:** NLP tools can analyze text data, such as social media posts or clinical notes, to gain insights into mental health conditions and identify potential risk factors.

* **Machine Learning:** Machine learning algorithms can be trained on vast amounts of data to develop models that can diagnose mental health conditions with greater accuracy than traditional methods.
* **Virtual Reality:** AI-powered virtual reality experiences can be used to simulate real-world situations and provide exposure therapy for conditions like anxiety and phobias.

Harmony is open source under [MIT License](https://github.com/harmonydata/harmony/blob/main/LICENSE) and is written in Python, and uses [HuggingFace Sentence Transformers](/measuring-the-performance-of-nlp-algorithms/) to find similarities between questionnaires.

By identifying, recoding, and testing the equivalence of subsets of [items](/item-harmonisation/harmony-a-free-ai-tool-for-longitudinal-study-in-psychology) from different questionnaires (for guidelines see our previous report), researchers can derive harmonised sub-scales that are directly comparable across studies.

One of the main challenges to retrospectively harmonising questionnaire data is identifying the specific items that are comparable across the measures. In the above example, we used expert opinion to match candidate items based on their content, and used psychometric tests to determine how plausible it was to assume that matched items were directly comparable. Although our results were promising, this process was time-consuming, and the reliance on expert opinion introduces an element of human [bias](https://fastdatascience.com/how-can-we-eliminate-bias-from-ai-algorithms-the-pen-testing-manifesto) – i.e. different experts may disagree on which items match. As such, we are currently working on a [project](https://fastdatascience.com/starting-a-data-science-project) supported by [Wellcome](/ai-in-mental-health/radio-podcast-about-wellcome-data-prize/), in which we aim to develop an online tool, ‘Hamony’, that uses machine learning to help researchers match items from different questionnaires based on their underlying meaning. Our overall aim is to streamline and add consistency and replicability to the harmonisation process. We plan to test the utility of this tool by using it to harmonise measures of mental health and social connectedness across two cohort of young people from the UK and and Brazil.
