AI can tell if a patient battling cancer needs mental health support - EurekAlert
Researchers at UBC and BC Cancer have developed a new artificial intelligence (AI) model that can accurately predict if a person receiving cancer care will require mental health services during their treatment journey. The AI uses natural language processing and advanced neural networks to analyze an oncologist’s notes from their first consultation appointment with a patient. The AI can predict with greater than 70 per cent accuracy whether a patient will see a psychiatrist or counsellor within a year. It is the first time AI has been used to predict mental health outcomes from non-psychiatric medical documents.
