P1vital has developed a machine learning based online app, the PReDicT Test, designed for patients with depression to predict early in treatment whether their antidepressant is working. Antidepressants are widely prescribed but take 4-6 weeks before patients feel better with two thirds of patients not responding to the first drug prescribed. Identifying an effective antidepressant within days not months provides benefit to millions of patients and reduces the economic burden of depression which costs the NHS and the wider economy over £11bn/yr.
