Abstract

The present disclosure describes a system to use conversation data of patients to detect dangerous mental or physical conditions, such as suicidal thoughts, physical abuse, recent falls, and viral infection. A machine learning system may be trained to identify a dangerous mental or physical condition from conversations based on examples of patients evaluated to have a specific mental or physical condition. Conversations of patients may be monitored, natural language understanding (NLU) processing performed, and a machine learning system used to detect dangerous mental or physical conditions.
