Using simulated clients to enhance the training of clinical psychologists
Chad Yip
03 Feb 2025 - 31 Dec 2025
We will use actors as simulated clients (SCs) in the first semester’s Masters in Psychology (Clinical) coursework subjects. Actors will accurately portray specific symptoms or behaviours, allowing students to gain hands-on experience with diverse psychological issues in a low-stakes environment. This approach will hopefully provide students with realistic, culturally diverse practice, helping students build confidence and competence before interacting with actual clients. Quantitative and qualitative feedback will be collected from students.

Development of an Online Tour planner with AI Chat for the Indigenous Tourism Industry in Sarawak
Kim Lim Tan
03 Feb 2025 - 31 Jan 2026
The project team is seeking funding to facilitate the commercialization and translation of the research into a practical tool, aiming to create an impact on industry practitioners. Specifically, the team aims to develop a prototype of an online tour planner powered by AI Chat based on the research findings.
The online tour planner is designed to support and promote the Indigenous tourism industry in Sarawak through enabling potential tourists to personalize their travel itineraries based on their preferences, interests, and available time. By tailoring experiences to individual needs, the platform aims to enhance accessibility to Sarawak’s rich Indigenous culture, traditions, and destinations, fostering meaningful connections between travelers and the region’s unique heritage. This initiative will contribute to the growth of the local tourism industry while celebrating and preserving Sarawak’s Indigenous culture.
The prototype will be co-developed by JCU team and Krux Asia (AI developer), and tested by Scubaquest (a travel agency). The prototype could be further commercialized and replicated to other industries in Sarawak or other tourism destinations.
Goal-Focused and Social Monitoring Approaches to Reducing Bedtime Procrastination
Ghazalnaz Sharifonnasabi
17 Feb 2025 - 31 Dec 2025
This project aims to develop a web application that engages users in setting bedtime goals, making the goals public on social media, monitoring the goals, and tracking sleep behaviours. It also aims to test the efficacy of the web application in reducing bedtime procrastination using an experimental approach. The web application designed for the study can be refined and developed into a mobile application for commercialization. The commercialization of the mobile application could attract academic and industry collaborations and opportunities for external research grants.

01 Oct 2022 - 30 Sep 2026
The Temasek Foundation Youth Connect Programme aims to provide early recognition and early intervention for distressed adolescents. This 4-year pilot programme is an initiative by KKH and the Temasek Foundation. One of the objectives of the programme is to build the capacity of school counsellors and community mental health practitioners to deliver evidence-based, psychological brief interventions from a process-based approach to augment the existing basic emotional support services. JCUS staff will develop the interventions and train the school counsellors and mental health workers (Dr Riard), evaluate the training (Dr Ng) and evaluate the clinical outcomes for the adolescents (Prof. Marsh).
