New York – November 09, 2026 -- An AI tool called PREVIA flagged 100 percent of 30 emergency department patients who went on to develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), while a PTSD-specialist ED clinician identified 89 percent of the same cases, according to a study led by NYU Langone Health.
PREVIA identifies more than 95.4 percent of at-risk patients from 145 trauma narratives
The study, published November 9 in Nature Communications, ran a set of AI models on the recorded and transcribed trauma narratives of 145 ED patients. The models correctly identified more than 95.4 percent of at-risk patients. Results were validated against diagnoses from the Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale for DSM-5 (CAPS-5), the gold-standard clinical interview.
