Data-driven mental healthcare solving the crisis? - Information Age

Nick Ismail One in four people have mental health issues and in men under 50, suicide is the main cause of death. It is a huge, often misunderstood problem that pervades every society and most families. This was the opening message delivered by Valentin Tablan, an artificial intelligence expert and scientist at Ieso Digital Health, at the Healthcare Summit in London last month. His message was clear: the mental health problem is endemic, but we know the solution in cognitive behavioural therapy. The issue is not everyone has access to this service. There are not enough therapists to deliver the necessary therapy.
