UNITED STATES – Minnesota and North Dakota children are participating in an artificial intelligence mental health project.
Duke University in Durham, North Carolina received a $15 million federal grant to predict mental illness in teens. The project will include 2,000 of them from rural clinics in North Carolina, Minnesota and North Dakota.
The university’s A.I. model is being used to predict who is most likely to develop a mental illness within a year.
Assistant Professor Matthew Engelhard says researchers are very serious about protecting patients’ privacy, in the context of the study as well as more broadly.
