Using AI to Successfully Detect Signs of Anxiety - Neuroscience News

Summary: A new AI algorithm can detect behavioral symptoms associated with anxiety with over 90% accuracy. Researchers are using artificial intelligence (AI) to detect behavioral signs of anxiety with more than 90 percent accuracy, and suggest that AI could have future applications for addressing mental health and well-being. Their research is published in the journal Pervasive and Mobile Computing. "In the two years since the onset of COVID-19, and one climate disaster after another, more and more people are experiencing anxiety," says Simon Fraser University visiting professor and social psychologist Gulnaz Anjum. "Our research appears to show that AI could provide a highly reliable measurement for recognizing the signs that someone is anxious."
