Forschung im Fokus - Psychiatrische Gesundheit im Fokus: Früherkennung und KI-Unterstützung im Projekt CARE

In the organizer's words:

In the best case scenario, modern medicine should not only treat illnesses, but also prevent them in the first place. Prevention has long been common practice here - but what is preventive psychiatry? Can it prevent psychiatric illnesses? And can the use of artificial intelligence help? Every year, around 20 percent of people in Germany are affected by a psychiatric illness. Psychoses, in the form of hallucinations, anxiety disorders or loss of reality, are among the most cost-intensive illnesses. However, there are currently hardly any early detection services in Germany that offer effective prevention for patients with an increased risk of psychosis, and the globally unique Düsseldorf research project CARE is now using specially developed AI algorithms to support patient diagnostics and treatment for the first time. In the lecture, Prof. Eva Meisenzahl, project manager and director of the Psychiatric University Hospital/LVR Clinic Düsseldorf, will provide insights into this exciting field.
