Can AI Find the Children at Risk of Mental Health Conditions?

Article Excerpt: An AI system designed to speed up the diagnosis of mental health conditions in children is to be developed in Cambridge (UK).

Dr Anna Moore, who leads the project, said it could “revolutionise” care and highlight the need for more resources. “Diagnosing it earlier, means it can be more easily treated,” she said. Child psychiatrists believe there is “a crisis” in the mental health care of children, and the NHS estimates 20% of people under 24 probably need some form of mental health support.

Health Watch: New Center Focuses on AI’s Impact on Future of Health Care

Article Excerpt: A new center based at the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon will focus on artificial intelligence and the transformative role it’s expected to play in health care over the next decade. We may not know it but artificial intelligence, or AI, is all around us, whether it’s the cars we drive or the cellphones we use on a regular basis. And that includes how health care is delivered. “Computers are getting very good at solving problems,” Saeed Hassanpour said. Hassanpour is the director of the Center for Precision Health and Artificial Intelligence, which he calls a hub for education and research. It’s based in the Williamson building at the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center and is a collaboration between the Dartmouth Cancer Center, Dartmouth College and the Geisel School of Medicine.
