Israeli Mental Health Startup Taliaz Awarded $3 Million EU Horizon 2020 Grant
Founded in 2012, Taliaz currently has about $4.1 million in funding.
Taliaz is an Israeli mental health startup which uses artificial intelligence to create new products for the treatment of mental health issues. The company was just awarded $3 million from the EU Horizon 2020 Grant.
Founded in 2012, Taliaz currently has about $4.1 million in funding.
So AI can even be used to treat mental health now. No it’s not what you think. This is not about having a computerized hologram serve as your therapist or using some kind of high tech brain implants to treat schizophrenics or people who suffer from bipolar disorder.
Here the idea is that smart computers can be used to assist doctors and therapists. Programs will compile data and make recommendations. But the human being who treats a patient will still make the decisions.
Taliaz offers PREDICTIX, a CE-registered product that provides an advanced decision support software for psychiatrists and general practitioners.
