AI system could predict readmission of depression patients

An artificial intelligence system may be able to predict which patients with depression will be readmitted to a mental healthcare institution. This is reported by GGZnieuws. The system allegedly analyses medical data and behavioural patterns to determine a risk score.

If the system proves reliable, it could help patients receive timely additional care. For healthcare institutions, it could be a way to better plan their capacity. However, it is still unclear when and if the system will actually be deployed.

According to the source, the technology is still in an experimental stage. There are no clear figures or results yet on the accuracy of the predictions. It is also not yet clear whether the system will be tested in practice.
