A secondary analysis found a brain scan with an AI algorithm predicted within a week 1/3 of patients would respond to sertraline and 2/3 would not.

It is well known that the commonly used antidepressant sertraline, better known under the brand name Zoloft, works well for some and not at all for others. An AI algorithm developed by researchers at Amsterdam UMC and Radboudumc in Nijmegen can now help doctors determine after a week whether a patient is sensitive to the drug, instead of the typical six to eight weeks of trial and error, the university hospitals announced.

This AI-driven algorithm is able to predict the efficiacy of anti-depressant drugs like sertraline in a week.

Two-thirds of prescriptions for sertraline — the most common antidepressant in the US — could be erroneous, according to a new AI analysis.

<p>In patients with major depression disorder it is, thanks to use of artificial intelligence, now possible to predict within a week whether an antidepressant will work. With the help of an AI algorithm, a brain scan and an individual's clinical information, researchers from Amsterdam UMC and Radboudumc could see up to 8 weeks faster whether or not the medication would work. The results of this study are published today in the American Journal of Psychiatry.</p>
