Artificial Intelligence and Mental Illness

Abstract

T echnology has become increasingly present in all corners of our lives. We leave a trail of our digital selves in the wake of our interactions with smart phones, smart devices, social media, and the Internet. Our digital signature provides unprecedented access to the unseen side of human behavior and has increasingly become a viable source of data for research into human health. Furthermore, with the digitalization of medical records, artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) have been adopted to develop predictive models, clinical decision support systems, and synthesize information from disparate sources. Recently having entered the proverbial AI summer, a period of rapid development and considerable funding, AI/ML applications have become increasingly present in research. Numerous fields are applying AI/ML algorithms in their work, and healthcare stands to benefit substantially from its widespread adoption. Researchers throughout Canada are addressing a broad range of chronic diseases and illnesses with AI/ML as a primary tool.
