Use of Artificial Intelligence in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Mental Disorders

Researchers led by Computer Science Professor Iryna Gurevych at TU Darmstadt and the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi are addressing a key question: How can AI-based tools in the mental health domain be designed to reliably protect patient privacy? In a new study published in Nature Computational Science , they present a roadmap for developing support systems that improve diagnosis and therapy while safeguarding sensitive information. The researchers emphasize that privacy is a key prerequisite for using AI in mental health care.
