Community, facility and individual level impact of integrating mental health screening and treatment into the primary healthcare system in Sehore district, Madhya Pradesh, India by Crick Lund, Vikram Patel, Rahul Shidhaye, Emily Baron, Vaibhav Murhar, Sujit Rathod, Azaz Khan, Abhishek Singh, Sanjay Shrivastava, Shital Muke, Ritu Shrivastava

“…Patients with depression who received care as part of the MHCP had higher rates of response (52.2% in the treatment group vs 26.9% in the comparison/usual care group), early remission (70.2% in the treatment group vs 44.8% in the comparison/usual care group) and recovery (56.1% in the treatment group vs 28.5% in the comparison/usual care group), but there was no impact of treatment on their functioning.Conclusions While dedicated human resources (eg, Case Managers) and dedicated space for mental health clinics (eg, Mann-Kaksha) strengthen the ‘formal’ healthcare platform, without substantial additional investments in staff, such as Community Health Workers/Accredited Social Health Activists to improve community level processes and provision of community-based continuing care to patients, we are unlikely to see major changes in coverage or clinical outcomes.…”

On Explainability of Reinforcement Learning-Based Machine Learning Agents Trained with Proximal Policy Optimization That Utilizes Visual Sensor Data by Tomasz Hachaj, Marcin Piekarczyk

“…This estimation makes it possible to determine whether the network makes decisions as expected (decision-making is related to the model’s observation of objects belonging to different semantic classes in the environment) and to detect unexpected, seemingly chaotic behavior that might be, for example, the result of data bias, bad design of the reward function or insufficient generalization abilities of the model. …”
