Dear World Forum Attendee, 

On behalf of Mass General Brigham CEO Anne Klibanski MD and Forum co-Chairs Gregg Meyer MD and Ravi Thadhani MD, many thanks for being among the nearly 11,000 registrants representing 93 countries, 46 states and 3200 organizations yesterday. A community was established around many pressing topics that  will continue long into the future. We hope you have a chance to examine the attached survey results. There are several revealing items that should be the basis for ongoing discussion. We expect to be in touch regularly during the year. Among the plans is a “First Look” video series highlighting top Mass General Brigham Harvard faculty as well as emerging Harvard investigators.  As promised, we  wanted to also share visual Forum session summaries.  You will be able to access the recordings on the Forum’s YouTube page . The first set will go up this morning

We hope you will join us for the 2021 Forum!  

Thanks again, Chris

Mass General Brigham (formerly Partners Healthcare) is pleased to invite media to attend the World Medical Innovation Forum (WMIF) virtual event on Monday, May 11. Our day-long interactive web event features expert discussions of COVID-related infectious disease innovation and the pandemic’s impact on transforming medicine, plus insights on how care may be radically transformed post-COVID. The agenda features nearly 70 executive speakers from the healthcare industry, venture, start-ups, consumer health and the front lines of COVID care, including many of our Harvard Medical School-affiliated researchers and clinicians. The event replaces our annual in-person conference, which we plan to resume in 2021.

The Forum is rooted in the belief that no matter the magnitude of that change, the center of health care needs to be a shared, fundamental commitment to collaborative innovation – industry and academia working together to improve patient lives. No collaborative endeavor is more pressing than responding to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Based on what was learned during the spring of 2020, are there specific changes that will lessen morbidity and mortality in a potential a second wave?

AI in Psychiatric Treatment – Using Machine Learning to Increase Treatment Efficacy in Mental Health

Reporter: Aviva Lev- Ari, PhD, RN

Featuring Start Up: aifred

www.aifredhealth.com

About Us

The inability to predict any given individual’s unique response to psychiatric treatment is a huge bottleneck to recovery from mental health conditions.
To address this challenge, we are creating a deep-learning based clinical decision tool for physicians to bring personalized medicine to psychiatry.
Initially, we will be focusing on treatments for depression, but we plan to scale Aifred to encompass all mental health conditions in order to amplify clinical utility. At its core, aifred is leveraging the collective intelligence of the scientific and medical community to bring better healthcare to all.
We are a proud official IBM Watson AI XPrize team, headquartered in Montreal, Canada.

Read more about us:

Deep Learning


Something unique to every machine learning company is the precise nature of their hyperparameter optimization and goals of their model. We will optimize aifred with the help of a distributed network of domain experts in psychiatry — a collaboration unique to aifred health. We are implementing attention networks responsible for removing the “black-box” nature of neural networks. As well, we are analyzing the quality of model predictions, allowing both for greater interpretability of model decisions and the generation of new basic research questions, which are going to be unique to the data-set and optimization techniques we develop in-house. By training aifred on reliable datasets, we are able to ensure quality input to our model. De-identified patient outcomes will feed back into our neural networks to continuously improve aifred’s predictive power. Feature engineering is an important part of determining which inputs go into a network and varies how it’s done for every team- once again, this will be undertaken with the support of diverse group of experts we are recruiting.

Our Product


Treatment Prediction

The aifred solution makes use of innovative and powerful machine learning techniques predict treatment efficacy based on an array of patient characteristics.

Interpretability

Forget the blackbox! Our system will provide a report highlighting the most significant features that led to a treatment prediction.

Patient Data Tracking

Track patient symptoms and test results to monitor outcomes or make new predictions. Banks of standardized questionnaires, data visualization, scheduling software — all of it modular and capable of being tailored to clinicians’ needs.

Electronic Patient Record

Keep all important patient information in one place, and get insights using our analytics.

The Incredible Ways Artificial Intelligence Is Now Used In Mental Health

Bernard Marr 12:23 am

https://www.forbes.com/sites/bernardmarr/2019/05/03/the-incredible-ways-artificial-intelligence-is-now-used-in-mental-health/amp/?__twitter_impression=true

4 Benefits of using AI to help solve the mental health crisis

There are several reasons why AI could be a powerful tool to help us solve the mental health crisis. Here are four benefits:

  1.      Support mental health professionals

As it does for many industries, AI can help support mental health professionals in doing their jobs. Algorithms can analyze data much faster than humans, can suggest possible treatments, monitor a patient’s progress and alert the human professional to any concerns. In many cases, AI and a human clinician would work together.

  1.      24/7 access

Due to the lack of human mental health professionals, it can take months to get an appointment. If patients live in an area without enough mental health professionals, their wait will be even longer. AI provides a tool that an individual can access all the time, 24/7 without waiting for an appointment.

  1.      Not expensive

The cost of care prohibits some individuals from seeking help. Artificial intelligent tools could offer a more accessible solution.

  1.      Comfort talking to a bot

While it might take some people time to feel comfortable talking to a bot, the anonymity of an AI algorithm can be positive. What might be difficult to share with a therapist in person is easier for some to disclose to a bot.
