Summary
Mental illnesses first occur in youth and can lead to lifelong disability. Our team established the largest preventative youth-based services in the world to address this problem, but consumers have identified an urgent unmet need to personalise and modernise care. We can achieve this using artificial intelligence (AI), but we have no infrastructure to safely, fairly, and responsibly implement the new technology.

Our team established the largest preventative youth-based services in the world to address this problem, but consumers have identified an urgent unmet need to personalise and modernise care. We can achieve this using artificial intelligence (AI), but we have no infrastructure to safely, fairly, and responsibly implement the new technology. Youth-AI will provide translational infrastructure to modernise care by establishing AI services, software, data linkages, web applications, education, and monitoring. Achieving these aims will allow researchers to lead the next generation of mental healthcare for youth. Read moreRead less
