Researchers at Shenzhen University have developed an artificial intelligence model capable of predicting the risk of major depressive disorder up to four years in advance. The model was trained on data from clinical trials involving adolescents in European countries, utilizing MRI scans, blood tests, and questionnaires to identify early warning signs. This advancement could offer significant public health benefits by enabling preventive measures for a condition that affects over 332 million people globally. AI
IMPACT Could enable early intervention for mental health conditions, potentially reducing the global burden of depression.
