OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
The marriage between AI and new datasets promised early detection of mental health problems and symptom prediction. This may enable timely and proactive instead of (traditionally) reactive interventions to mitigate mental health crises which could truly help both patients and healthcare systems. Yet, although the traditional healthcare model has been suboptimal to address the rising mental health problems, we are still not witnessing a long-awaited shift in the paradigm – from reactive care to preventative care. Are the algorithms ready? Are the healthcare systems ready? Is the world ready? This talk will delve into these questions by drawing from years of research at Koa Health and from a recent study that evaluated AI-based prediction of mental health crises.
