Machine learning model to predict mental health crises from electronic health records

Abstract: The timely identification of patients who are at risk of a mental health crisis can lead to improved outcomes and to the mitigation of burdens and costs. However, the high prevalence of mental health problems means that the manual review of complex patient records to make proactive care decisions is not feasible in practice. Therefore, we developed a machine learning model that uses electronic health records to continuously monitor patients for risk of a mental health crisis over a period of 28 days. The model… Show more

“…GBDTs are highly effective in modeling complex, nonlinear relationships and in handling high-dimensional data as in the case of EHRs. Both models were chosen because they are well-established in the medical literature [26,28,29]. Furthermore, this allows us to make direct comparisons between a linear model (logistic regression) and a more flexible model (GBDTs).…”

“…15 In addition, we may be able to use behavioural data to identify patients with mental health crises before they present to the hospital. This can either be from electronic health records, 16 or from smartphones that are already tracking our location and social activities. For example, we can imagine that a patient with bipolar disorder who enters a manic phase may demonstrate atypical GPS location data or increased social activity at night.…”

“…Depression is a mental disorder that negatively impacts your life in various ways and left untreated, can ruin relationships and cause problems at school and work. It's estimated that nearly of all cases of depression are left undiagnosed, leading to the depression getting worse and causing that person's lifestyle and work performance to deteriorate [1].I wanted to develop a machine learning model that can accurately predict if someone has depression, as timely intervention can give undiagnosed patients the chance to receive treatment and therefore improve their life [2].…”
