Bias-Free Diagnosis: Balancing AI and Human Expertise in Adult ADHD with Dr. Barry K. Herman – Episode 453

Traditional clinical interviews can have up to a 50% variance in ADHD diagnosis, leaving the door wide open for implicit bias. By utilizing machine learning-enabled, asynchronous assessments, Mentavi Health is wringing out biases related to race, gender, and appearance, and dropping the false-positive rate to just 12%. In this episode, host Peter Fenger speaks with Dr. Barry K. Herman, Chief Medical Officer at Mentavi Health. A Stanford-trained, board-certified adult and child psychiatrist with over 25 years of experience across managed care, pharmaceuticals, and digital health, Dr. Herman is a past president of AAPAL and a prolific researcher with over 100 scientific publications to his name. Join us as we explore Dr. Herman’s non-linear journey from traditional practice to population health, the clinical validation behind the Mentavi Diagnostic Evaluation, and how decoupling diagnosis from treatment is fundamentally shifting the timeline, accuracy, and accessibility of online mental health care.   For more information about Mentavi Health, please visit: https://mentavi.com For more information about Mentavi Health’s Diagnostic Evaluation, please visit: https://mentavi.com/diagnostic-evaluation/ For more information about their assessment validation study, please visit: https://mentavi.com/press-release/mentavi-health-announces-results-from-first-of-its-kind-adhd-assessment-validation-study/ Connect with Mentavi Health on social media: On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mentavi_health/ On Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/mentavihealth/ On YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@mentavihealth On Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Mentavi/100085316731601/ On X: https://x.com/MentaviHealth
