Suicide prediction method combines AI and face-to-face screening
May. 13, 2022—New Vanderbilt research is pointing to solutions for efficient clinical prediction of suicide attempt or suicidal thinking in adults.
Artificial intelligence predicts opioid overdose in Tennessee
Oct. 19, 2021—Researchers at Vanderbilt and the Tennessee Department of Health have developed 30-day predictive models for fatal and non-fatal opioid-related overdose among patients receiving opioid prescriptions in the state.
Artificial intelligence calculates suicide attempt risk at VUMC
Mar. 15, 2021—A machine learning algorithm that predicts suicide attempt recently underwent a prospective trial at the institution where it was developed, Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
Study will delve into EHR for signs of suicidality
Feb. 11, 2021—Retrieval of clearer, more complete information from the EHR could go a long way toward improving predictive models of who will next be at risk of suicide, thereby improving care for patients with suicidal thoughts and behaviors.
VUMC study to use artificial intelligence to explore suicide risk
Jan. 15, 2020—Investigators will use computational methods to shed light on suicidal ideation and its relationship to attempted suicide, predict suicidal ideation and suicide attempt using routine electronic health records (EHRs) and explore the genetic underpinnings of both.
Cutting edge trio
Oct. 31, 2019—Vanderbilt’s Colin Walsh, MD, MA, left, Bennett Landman, PhD, and Bradley Malin, PhD, recently discussed how artificial intelligence is transforming patient care during their Cutting Edge Discovery Lecture.
Cutting-Edge Discovery Lecture to focus on artificial intelligence
Oct. 17, 2019— by Bill Snyder How artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming patient care will be discussed by three Vanderbilt University researchers during a Cutting-Edge Discovery Lecture on Oct. 24. The lecture will begin at 4 pm in 208 Light Hall. The speakers and their topics include: Bennett Landman, PhD, director of the Center for Computational Imaging...
Study explores genetic risk for suicide attempt
Jan. 31, 2019—Using data from the UK Biobank and Vanderbilt’s BioVU, a new study in the journal Molecular Psychiatry finds that approximately 4 percent of suicide attempt risk is captured by genotype data.
Fibromyalgia: More doctor visits mean fewer suicide attempts
Sep. 20, 2018—Fibromyalgia patients who regularly visit their physicians are much less likely to attempt suicide than those who do not, according to a new Vanderbilt University Medical Center study published in Arthritis Care & Research.
Team to develop suicide risk model for military
Jan. 18, 2018—Researchers at Vanderbilt University and Florida State University have received a three-year, $1.5 million grant from the Military Suicide Research Consortium to develop and evaluate tools to help U.S. Navy primary care teams detect and manage suicide risk.
Investigators use machine learning to predict suicide risk
Mar. 9, 2017—According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in 2013 there were 41,149 suicides in the U.S., making it the 10th leading cause of death that year. Among high school students in 2013, the CDC estimates that over the previous 12 months 2.7 percent had sometime made a suicide attempt resulting in injury, poisoning or overdose that required medical attention.
