(Source: https://www.healthtechdigital.com/ ) This month sees the launch of a new randomised controlled trial (RCT) where an innovative machine-learning (ML) tool is being used to help improve outcomes for patients accessing mental health services. Born out of Project Talia, a partnership with Microsoft Research, SilverCloud Science’s open-source ML tool, that predicts clinical outcomes, is being set to work in a real-world setting.
SilverCloud Science and Microsoft Research originally developed the algorithm, which uses machine-learning to analyse thousands of patient outcomes, in order to accurately predict clinical outcomes of new users.
The RCT (ISRCTN registry number 18059067) is being carried out in partnership with the Talking Therapies service at Berkshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, one of the country’s most innovative NHS providers integrating scalable digital solutions to meet the need of its patient population, alongside SilverCloud Health, the UK’s leading digital mental health platform.
