This is the kind of service you need to either run 'underground' - ie anonymously, or you need to go get all the right legal permissions and certificates in place.

Otherwise you'll end up with massive fines and/or in prison when one of your customers sends a long chat about depression and then commits suicide. At that point, authorities won't overlook the fact you aren't properly licensed.

Cool tech demos can't exist in any remotely medical field for this reason.

I think that's part of the reason that medical science progresses so slowly compared to other fields.

Data is really hard to get because of privacy regulations too.

There are millions of brain MRI scans sitting in hospital databases but nobody can use them without individually asking each patient. Most published datasets are only a couple dozen scans, and plenty are N=1.
