Evidence shows an annual loss of 34.6 million life-years globally due to suicide. In response to this, globally renowned institutions specialized in mental health and suicide research, in collaboration with experts in bioinformatics, have launched PERMANENS, a pioneering European research initiative. The PERMANENS research project is dedicated to create a medical software prototype that supports clinicians in delivering personalized assessments and care to patients arriving at the emergency department with an elevated risk of self-harm or suicide. This precision medicine software will harness the power of artificial intelligence to provide more accurate risk assessments and access to evidence-based information, enabling the identification of effective treatment options tailored to each patient's unique needs and risk profile.
