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.

A test that monitors blood levels of DNA fragments released by dying tumor cells may serve as an accurate early indicator of treatment success in people in late stages of one of the most aggressive forms of skin cancer, a new study finds.
Led by NYU Grossman School of Medicine and Perlmutter Cancer Center researchers, the investigation looked at adults with undetectable levels of freely circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) four weeks into drug treatment for metastatic melanoma tumors that cannot be removed surgically (unresectable). The study showed that these patients, all of whom had common genetic changes (BRAFV600 mutations) linked to cancer, were living nearly twice as long without cancer growth as those who continued to have detectable levels.
