New DARPA initiative aims to harness cognitive science, sensors and machine learning to detect early brain signs of depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation

Effective behavioral health assessment is a mission-critical capability requiring novel tools to identify and help those at risk.
Today, DARPA announced the Neural Evidence Aggregation Tool (NEAT) p...

Currently, 911 serves as the default number for people to call, placing the acutely mentally ill on a direct track toward police involvement. The new system is meant to ensure that every person experiencing a mental health crisis will receive a mental health response instead—help, not handcuffs.
