Can Artificial Intelligence Cure Mental Health Conditions?

Mental illnesses have become one of the biggest medical challenges of the 21st century. According to the World Health Organization, around 450 million people globally are affected by mental illness. 

But two-thirds of people with a known mental condition, such as anxiety, depression and co-occurring disorders, fail to seek help from medical professionals. This can be due to a number of factors, including stigma and discrimination.

London-based digital health and artificial intelligence company BioBeats is on a mission to change the perception of mental health globally by using data. It’s developed a wearable device, an app and machine learning system to collect data and monitor users’ level of stress, before predicting when stress could be a cause of a more serious or physical health condition.
