I'm pleased to share Brightside Health's latest research paper in JMIR Publications that looks at the role of #AI in #crisis #prediction among #behavioral #health patients. While use cases for AI in healthcare have grown, there has been limited research on using AI for the purpose of mental health crisis prediction. This peer-reviewed research analyzed data from 460 patients on the Brightside Health telehealth platform, including 260 patients who reported suicidal ideation with a plan to act on it, and 200 patients who did not endorse suicidal ideation. Using a simple prompt design Chat GPT-4 results approached those of trained clinicians in predicting suicidal crisis. Suicide is notoriously difficult to predict. This supports the notion that generative AI holds great promise for identifying patients at risk of #suicide and thus enabling the delivery of more timely care to those who need it most. Many thanks to my co-authors Christine Lee, PhD, Matt Mohebbi, and Erin O'Callaghan, Ph.D. as well as the expert clinicians who participated in the study.

Anna Medaris wrote this wonderful article on ADHD among women athletes in which I am quoted. This is an underreported subject and raises the larger issue of how psychiatric disorders are context dependent. Someone with mild ADHD might excel working in emergency medicine, or as a reporter under deadline, but fail miserably if forced to be in zoom meetings all day long.
Could ADHD Actually Be A Superpower For Some Athletes?
