Datametrex AI (DM) subsidiary, Nexalogy Environics, is developing an artificial intelligence and machine learning tool to detect depression and anxiety.

The tool explores sets of data and text to analyze and distinguish emotions and moods to determine one’s mental state and if the creator of that text is suffering specifically from depression or anxiety.

Research suggests that the most prevalent mental illnesses are depression and anxiety, which are estimated to affect over 676 million people worldwide. Identifying these conditions in their early stages is critical in addressing the public health concerns surrounding these illnesses that lead to self-harm and suicide.

The outcomes thus far verified by the Nexalogy team demonstrate that the AI tool shows a high confidence level when detecting mental illness, circa 72 per cent when detecting emotions through text.

Further research supports Nexalogy’s approach to AI’s role in mental health. Studies show that AI and machine learning applied to text data from users online can work effectively in depression detection and can serve as a powerful tool in public health. 

With the rise of the internet, there is a significant need to build intelligent systems that are capable of early risk detection. Depression is a leading cause of disability and is a major contributor to the overall global burden of disease. 

Marshall Gunter, CEO of Datametrex, sat down with Sabrina Cuthbert to discuss the news.

“Nexalogy is known for creating solutions that optimize risk and elevate any business to more successful outcomes with its powerful AI and machine learning technology. Nexalogy’s team is expanding its efforts in this area, as there is a significant demand in the public health sector with the decline of mental health globally since the pandemic. Though our detection tool is in its early stages, we believe this is something that could bring meaningful outcomes and solutions in the future.”

Nexalogy’s technology, NexaSMART, reduces the time needed to interpret and integrate large sets of data by offering powerful automated analyses. NexaSMART allows an analyst to deal with hundreds of thousands of social media documents in minutes rather than hours or days.

Datametrex AI Limited is a technology-focused company with exposure to artificial intelligence, machine learning, and telehealth.

Datametrex AI Limited (DM) opened trading at C$0.10.
