Early Suicide Detection System (ESDS) App

Benefits

ESDS is used to assist stakeholders in detecting and assessing suicidal ideation using A.I.

Saving a patient’s life: What better example of health promotion and disease prevention can there be?” (Allen, 1992, p. 1499). Studies reveal that physicians’ intentions to conduct suicide assessment are very low, even when they perceive the patient to be depressed (Hooper et al., 2011). Some risk factors are easier to discuss than others (i.e., assessing a patient on whether they experience difficulty concentrating and remembering things is more inviting for both parties than exploring questions around sexual identity). Questions about how many hours the adolescent sleeps a night could act as a segue into more deep and direct questions and answers. This is important because adequate sleep of 8-10 hours per night may decrease suicidal ideation by 80% (Whitmore et al., 2019).

Evidence-Based Research

An exploratory public health study investigated the most important behavioral risk factors associated with suicidal ideation over a 30-year time period, then applying multiple algorithms for statistical power.

Gamification Design

Gaming attributes outside the context of a game influences learning (Landers, 2014; Johnson et al., 2016). Gamification is rapidly becoming a trend in health profession education; it has increased almost tenfold in 2015 (Gaalen et al., 2021).

Decision Support System

ESDS provides evidence-based recommendations, guidelines, and alerts, empowering stakeholders to make well-informed decisions and deliver high-quality care to those most at risk for considering suicide.
