Medical professionals are at high risk of burnout, given increasing administration workloads and the nature of their work.</p> <p>Burnout is a global problem, and it’s a collection of symptoms coming from workplace stress. Symptoms include losing enthusiasm for work, emotional exhaustion, and feeling a lack of personal accomplishment.</p> <p>Our research scientist Aaron Nicolson <a href="https://aehrc.csiro.au/aehrcs-aaron-nicolson-takes-out-top-prize-in-international-imaging-competition/">won the Association for Computational Linguistics competition for their AI model</a> this year.

The patient’s responses are then compared to criteria from a diagnostic and statistical manual.</p> <p>Psychological assessments and personality inventories are valuable tools, especially combined with conversations, but self-reporting has some drawbacks. We may hold back out of embarrassment or give what we think are socially acceptable responses. This can lead to missed diagnoses or wrong diagnoses, which can take years to correct.</p> <p>The game analyses player choices via artificial neural networks, revealing subtle differences in individuals living with depression or bipolar disorder. More accurate data helps clinicians develop treatment plans better personalised for individuals.
