Research has shown that eye movements can reveal the presence of depression, PTSD, schizophrenia, and developmental disabilities like autism. With this in mind, Senseye, a Texas-based company, is developing a phone app that measures how people’s eyes respond to visual tasks as a way to detect PTSD. This technology aims to bring research out of the laboratory and into therapists’ offices and patients’ homes.
As mental health professionals continue to seek new and innovative solutions for diagnosing and treating mental health conditions, tech-based solutions are becoming increasingly popular. These digital tools are designed to improve the accuracy and speed of diagnoses by utilizing various stages of readiness. For example, Clinicom is an adaptive digital assessment tool that can screen for over 80 mental health conditions in five languages. This program uses augmented intelligence to learn from clinician responses and provide accurate assessments while allowing clinicians to retain control over diagnoses.
Clinicom has been praised for its efficiency and accuracy in assessing patients’ conditions. By screening an entire school district or state in a day, this tool is a valuable asset for mental health professionals working in various settings. By listening and adapting, Clinicom builds trust with users and helps reduce false positives and negatives in diagnoses. Overall, this new technology is revolutionizing the way mental health conditions are diagnosed and treated in various settings.
