Calgary , Alberta – TheNewswire - December 7, 2022 - nDatalyze Corp. (“ NDAT ” or the“ Corporation ”) (CSE:NDAT) (OTC:NDATF) is pleased to announce theCanada-wide release of YMI, a comprehensive new breakthrough mentalhealth tool, in its mission to help the public gain a betterunderstanding of their mental health, and in the process, helpalleviate the massive strain currently placed on mental health systemresources.
Created by doctors, psychotherapists, data scientistsand other experts, YMI was designed to address one of the biggestproblems currently facing the mental health system: Access to clinicalresources. The predictive survey generates a population normalbaseline and uses supervised artificial intelligence to generateinsights on the degree of how individuals’ genetic expressions,childhood and life experiences affect their mental wellbeing. It thenprovides resources to connect with qualified experts for treatment.
“Long before the pandemic brought mental health tothe fore, the Internet had spawned a self-diagnosis movement that haspropelled skyrocketing demand for mental health services leading to anoverload of the mental health system,” says James Durward, Presidentof nDatalyze Corp. “Traditional diagnostic processes that rely onshort subjective self-reporting questionnaires that, whetheradministered by psychotherapists or individuals, can be wrong greaterthan 60% of the time. The process often sees people waiting months andspending thousands just to get through the diagnostic process thatshould happen before treatment.
“An unintended consequence of this,” Durward adds,“is that many low urgency cases have clogged the system andpre-empted high probability cases where help is more urgently needed.Exacerbating the problem is that misdiagnosis is often followed bymisprescription of drugs that can result in adverse side-effects oreven new mental conditions. YMI is designed to address these factorsby providing an advanced digital, objective, quantifiable tool forpredictive mental health screening for the public and psychotherapistsalike.”
YMI’s position is supported by Dr. Keith Courtney, aBoard-Certified Psychiatrist who consulted on YMI's scoringalgorithms. "I also think YMI aids in triage,” Dr. Courtneysays. “And that's the problem with the [mental health] system."
