Suicidal tendency is a global mental health concern. Although effective therapies are available, identifying the patients capable of self-harm is a challenge for physicians. Researchers have identified that artificial intelligence (AI) or deep learning can be helpful in such cases. Scientists used complex neural artificial networks to analyze unstructured textual data in electronic health records. Deep learning algorithms increasingly use an artificial network to obtain detailed knowledge from raw input data.
This raw data is presented in a structured manner in the electronic medical records. The unique quality of AI is that it analyses the data and identifies the patient at risk of self-harm. A study conducted at the Medical University of South Carolina and the University of South Florida identified the history of patients who intentionally harmed themselves. The AI model was trained…
