New AI can predict antidepressant success in a week

A new AI algorithm can predict anti-depressant efficacy within a week for patients with major depressive disorder. The algorithm developed by researchers at the Amsterdam University Medical Centre and the Radboudumc can identify and predict which patients will respond well to the SSRI sertraline. Specifically, this algorithm analyses the blow flow from the anterior cingulate cortex to the brain and other relevant patient information like symptoms.
