Videra Health Partners with North South Consulting Group to Help Prevent Suicide-Related Deaths of Service Members

Orem, Utah – October 1, 2024 – Videra Health, a leading AI-driven, end-to-end clinical operations solution, has announced a partnership with North South Consulting Group (NSCG), to help prevent suicide-related deaths of service members. The announcement comes as suicide-related deaths among military service members have risen by 37% over the last 20 years.

Through the use of a mobile phone or computer, Videra Health’s groundbreaking technology uses AI and machine learning algorithms to analyze video data. The AI detects subtle changes in facial expressions, body movements, language, and speech patterns that could indicate the risk of mental health conditions and can proactively identify individuals at a higher risk of suicide. This real-time detection ability results in immediate mental health interventions for service members and can ultimately save lives.

“Our goal at Videra Health is to use AI not just as a tool, but as a force for good in supporting the mental health of those who risk their lives for our country,” says Videra Health CEO & Co-Founder Loren Larsen. “We’re honored to work alongside North South Consulting Group in this important mission, providing service members with access to early effective interventions that can prevent tragedy and promote long-term wellness.”

In August, representatives from NSCG and Videra Health spoke at the Kentucky State Capitol’s Interim Joint Committee on Veterans, Military Affairs & Public Protection to address the challenges and risks associated with suicide-related deaths of service members.

“North South Consulting Group is a Veteran-owned and -led business which is passionate about supporting servicemembers and their families,” said Krista Stevans, CEO and President of North South Consulting Group “We take every opportunity to fight military suicide through the services we provide to our clients. Our partnership with Videra Health is another avenue to help the military using enhanced data insights.“

Recent data suggests that the younger population of today’s military are more apt to engage with clinicians and therapists via mobile devices and platforms than they would in a face-to-face or clinical setting. The data emphasizes the importance of identifying those in need of care and affording them with appropriate resources when they need them the most.

HIT CONSULTANT: 3 Ways AI Can Reduce Relapse Rates in Behavioral Health

The article “3 Ways AI Can Reduce Relapse Rates in Behavioral Health” by Fred Pennic discusses the persistent hurdle of high relapse rates in behavioral health treatment and how AI is emerging as a powerful tool to combat this problem. With up to 80% of individuals with substance use disorders experiencing relapse, both patients and providers are often discouraged. However, the use of AI technology, such as the platform provided by Videra Health, offers hope for better outcomes.

One of the key benefits of AI in reducing relapse rates is its ability to detect warning signs earlier than traditional methods. By analyzing a combination of video, audio, and text data, AI can identify subtle changes in a patient’s behavior or emotional state, allowing for earlier intervention and prevention of full relapse episodes.

Moreover, AI-driven platforms offer other valuable tools for reducing relapse rates, such as data-driven decision-making, smarter interventions tailored to individual needs, and continued monitoring through remote assessments. These capabilities help identify potential triggers, personalize treatment strategies, and provide ongoing support for sustained recovery.

One significant advantage of using AI in behavioral health treatment is its ability to provide objective data for measurement-based care. This approach empowers providers to deliver more effective and personalized care plans, leading to improved patient outcomes and significant reductions in relapse rates.

Overall, AI-powered screening and remote patient monitoring platforms are changing the game in behavioral health treatment. They provide early detection, personalized care, and objective data to support long-term recovery and reduce overall healthcare costs associated with addiction treatment. With AI as a game-changer in this field, there is hope for a future with improved outcomes and reduced relapse rates for those seeking behavioral health treatment. Read the full article here.
