Large language models (LLMs) can identify and predict mental health crises with comparable accuracy to clinicians, but in a significantly shorter amount of time, a new study shows.
The peer-reviewed study was done by Brightside Health and was published in JMIR Mental Health.
GPT-4 was able to give its evaluation for the 460 samples in less than 10 minutes, whereas the average clinician took over three hours.
This research highlights the potential of LLMs for efficient triage and clinical decision support in mental health and how technologies such as these can help alleviate clinician time shortage and empower them with risk assessment tools, which is especially crucial for patients at risk of suicide.
