Fremont, CA: Artificial intelligence software development has enormous potential in behavioral and mental health care. ArtificialIntelligence.health is a company that develops AI software with the goal of promoting the use of AI in mental health care.
OM1, a leading technology-enabled real-world data and artificial intelligence (AI) company with a focus on delivering insights into multiple chronic diseases, has launched its Mental Health and Neuroscience Specialty Area led by physician and entrepreneur Dr. Carl D. Marci. The division includes new information on psychiatric disorders and diseases of the central nervous system (CNS) with an initial focus on major depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and multiple sclerosis (MS), with other condition areas to follow.
In the US, there is an unmet and growing medical need for mental health and CNS disorders. The pandemic has exacerbated mental health disorders, in particular, resulting in a national crisis.
Despite increased early-stage investment in developing and testing new treatments for these conditions, high-quality insights to drive research that allows for market adoption and personalized care are lacking or difficult to obtain.
Real-world data with clinical depth and nuance are critical for understanding patient characteristics, disease progression, condition subtypes and variations, and the costs and clinical outcomes of existing and new treatments. These data are now available from OM1 and will be used to help partners deliver the right treatment for the right patients at the right time and expedite medical research and FDA approvals of new therapies.
"We are thrilled to add Dr. Marci to our leadership team to help accelerate the enrichment of our new data assets and help the industry realize the full potential of real-world data in mental health and the neurosciences," stated Dr. Rich Gliklich, founder and CEO of OM1. "He brings a unique combination of clinical, research, and business expertise to the industry."
