Young Minds, Big Data: AI’s Impact on Mental Health

Join us on this special episode of Keeping Up With Data as we dive into the cutting edge of mental health innovation with Dr Jill Newby - clinical psychologist, research lead at the Black Dog Institute, and co-director of CRE Precision. Together with Precision Sourcing's MD’s Simon Hair and Polain from the Data team, we explore how artificial intelligence and big data are changing the way depression and anxiety are understood and treated. From digital phenotyping and personalised treatment to the impact of the pandemic on young people’s mental health, this conversation unpacks the latest findings, real-world challenges, and ethical questions facing digital mental health tools.

Discover how action takes centre stage through Climb4Lives - the 14 Peaks Challenge raising vital funds for the Black Dog Institute. Over 75 hours, Precision Sourcing’s team will climb the equivalent of all 14 world peaks using stair climbers to support better mental health outcomes for all Australians.
