The AI will use vocal indicators and patient-reported symptoms to spot patients at risk for suicide and other mental health issues such as depression and anxiety, according to a May 10 press release. 

The Ohio Children’s Alliance and Ohio Behavioral Health Provider network will bring the technology to their combined network of over 265,000 patients. 

CareSource also facilitates youth-led prevention programs, respite care, and an app made to improve the mental health of children and teenagers.
