At DeepPsy, our goal is to improve psychiatric treatment by using technology. In psychiatry, opposite to most fields of medicine, treatment decisions are mostly based on information obtained at the symptomatic level, with little consideration for the biological mechanisms involved in the mental disorders of individual patients. To find an effective treatment, patients and psychiatrists go through a prolonged trial-and-error process.
To shorten the trial-and-error process, we help psychiatrists identify the treatment with the highest likelihood of a positive response in a specific patient by analyzing brain waves (EEG) and heart activity (ECG) with scientifically validated algorithms. This technology is made available to psychiatrists through a user-friendly web application to which EEG and ECG data can be uploaded.
Around 4.5% of adults are severely depressed, causing a lot of suffering and being one of the main causes of suicidality. In the EU, depression costs society over 180 billion/year (~1% GDP), especially due to hospitalizations and work disability. By allowing personalized psychiatry, our solution increases the efficacy of already existing treatments and enables psychiatry for the 21st century.
