Aifred Health is a healthtech company that uses AI to help clinicians and patients make better treatment decisions in mental healthcare. Their mission is to improve the treatment of depression, lifting the burden on patients, their friends, and the loved ones who support them. Aifred’s AI model makes personalized medicine a reality, predicting probabilities of remission against available medications based on the unique characteristics of each individual patient. Aifred’s patient–physician clinical decision support tool is accessible on any device, supporting both telehealth and in-person appointments. The patient’s behavioral health and socio-demographic information is first processed by a clinical algorithm, based on best evidence guidelines, to help clinicians determine the severity of the patient’s condition and next steps. Should the patient require medication, Aifred’s AI model assists in the optimizing the choice of treatment by generating probabilities of remission for the individual patient against each of the first line treatments available.
