Collaboration with IBM (CAS) -- fMRI
Dr. Russ Greiner and members of his lab at the University of Alberta are applying machine-learning approaches to find patterns in brain imaging that will help predict or diagnose brain dysfunctions such as ADHD, Alzheimers and schizophrenia. “We’re helping to advance the emerging field of ‘computational psychiatry.’ Both diagnostic and prognostic tools have high potential for commercialization, to be further developed in companies in Alberta, and elsewhere,” says Dr. Greiner. Currently diagnoses are typically subjective as they are based on a professional’s assessment of whether a patient exhibits a benchmark combination of behaviours on list of criteria. Using IBM technology, researchers at University of Alberta and the University of Calgary will instead build a bio-based system to help identify and develop better, faster, more reliable treatments for mental health, one of the most expensive disease categories in the developed world.
