Driving Factor
Increasing Application of AI in Detecting Depression to Open Floodgates of Innovation
The employment of artificial intelligence (AI) in identifying depressive behaviors in individuals is paving new pathways for the antidepressants market growth. Several startups, healthcare technology entities, and academic institutions have been AI-based algorithms, systems, and tools for depression. For example, Baltimore-based Sunrise Health, a startup incubated under Johns Hopkins Technology Ventures, has developed a system that uses AI-based predictive analytics to regulate patient activity and inhibit the onset of mental health breakdown episodes through support-group texting. On the other hand, California-based startup, Mindstrong Health, utilizes machine learning (ML) to aid the diagnosis and treatment of behavioral health disorders by leveraging data generated from smartphones. In June 2020, psychiatry researchers at Stanford University developed an AI-based algorithm to study brainwave patterns specific to depression patients, aiming to identify which symptoms change with treatment in a more pinpointed manner. Thus, AI has displayed vast potential in enhancing the efficacy and accuracy of antidepressants, thereby brightening the outlook of this market.
