Software used to screen social media photos for depression signs - Health News - NHS Choices


Description

This is a proof of concept study into what is often referred to as "machine learning", where sophisticated algorithms assess massive amounts of data to see if they can begin to spot patterns in the data that humans can't. The researchers suggest social media could become a useful screening tool. But aside from whether the science stacks up, there are ethical and legal implications that would need to be considered before this could happen.
