Using Machine Learning to Detect Risky Behavior in Psychiatric Clinics

The aim of this study is to ensure the safety of patients in a psychiatric clinic and to detect risky behaviors by using machine learning method. Risky behaviors are defined as behaviors that are personally, socially and developmentally undesirable and endanger life and health.Patient safety and maintaining a safe environment are among the primary duties of healthcare professionals. Suicide is the most important evidence-based risk factor, especially among individuals with psychiatric illnesses, and is one of the most important factors that threaten patient safety. At the end of this study, it is aimed to detect risky behaviors of patients before they harm themselves and to enable healthcare professionals to make early intervention for these behaviors, thus supporting a safe treatment environment, with the computer system that has been trained with the machine learning model installed in the clinics.
