Data Science Techniques for Datasets on Mental and Neurodegenerative Disorders

(DS Techniques for Datasets on MDs and NDs)

The burden of mental and neurodegenerative disorders (MDs and NDs) is estimated to grow to $6 trillion by 2030. Artificial intelligence techniques can make detection and treatment of these disorders easier, promising improved treatment and patient outcomes. However, developing trustworthy AI models and integrating them into healthcare settings, especially with such vulnerable populations, requires advanced data science techniques. 

The DS Techniques for Datasets on MDs and NDs workshop will provide a comprehensive discussion of data science techniques for biomedical datasets related to mental and neurodegenerative disorders. The goal of this workshop is to allow mental health researchers to expand their knowledge of advanced data science techniques while enabling data scientists to improve their methods with feedback from clinical audiences.
