John Pestian, PhD, focuses on developing advanced technology for the care of neuropsychiatric illness. Using artificial intelligence, his team integrates analyses of trait and state characteristics for early identification of both neurological and psychiatric illness. His lab developed and implemented an automated electronic health record surveillance system that processes clinician notes to identify epilepsy surgery candidates earlier than traditional approaches. The lab also focuses on earlier identification of individuals at risk of suicide, depression, bipolar and anxiety disorders using verbal and non-verbal language.
