Members of the BRiTE Center including Justin Tauscher, PhD, MS, Ayesha Chander, MRes, Trevor Cohen, MBChB, PhD, FACMI, and Dror Ben-Zeev, PhD, published findings in Psychiatric Services showing that algorithms are as good as trained human evaluators at identifying red-flag language in text messages from people with serious mental illness. The work was supported by an innovation grant from the Garvey Institute for Brain Health Solutions.
