Can a video game tell if you’re depressed?
"An AI-driven start-up uses games to detect danger signs of mental illness. It’s a novel approach, but not everyone is sold."

I am conducting clinical research on this particular topic. One of my articles is published on Research Gate. As a clinician I am dubious about its accuracy. The algorithms are designed by tech engineers and not clinicians. The stakes are too high for errors and potential death via suicide.

I like the idea. To the naysayers, initial diagnosis, as mentioned in the article, is done using a questionnaire. The person being asked might not answer truthfully. By slipping it into a video game scenario the Dr is more likely to get true responses.
