Using AI to deliver more precise magnetic stimulation treatment for depression
A USQ Professor is helping bring new technology to the forefront in the fight against depression.
A decade after Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation therapy was declared a new weapon in the fight against depression, researchers at the University of Southern Queensland are planning to use artificial intelligence to improve the procedure.
Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) is a safe and non-invasive brain stimulation technique used to treat depression and other mental health disorders, especially in patients who have not responded well to antidepressant medication.
More patients will soon have access to the treatment after it was announced in the latest federal budget rTMS therapy would be added to the Medicare Benefits Scheme.
