Description

This is among the first uses of Artificial Intelligence for suicide prevention across the world.

    DescriptionData was analysed from more than 100 suicide cases in order to compile a list of the key risk factors. The new AI-based methodology will allow for an automated suicide risk
    assessment at referral time with an accuracy significantly
    higher than the risk assessment scales currently
    in clinical use.
