SERAS™
Systematic Expert Risk Assessment for Suicide (SERAS™) provides rapid, low cost, high-quality risk assessment for suicide.
SERAS™ is the only tested and validated instrument of its kind in the market. The benefits include:
Ease of utilization and scalability
SERAS™ can be fully integrated with electronic databases with high end-user satisfaction. There is little training required, removing the need for interpretation of results by the non-psychiatrist.
Rapid and accurate assessment
SERAS™ requires less than 1 minute to complete, yet still provides 98% accuracy compared to the gold standard of evaluation by a psychiatrist.
Low cost
SERAS™ demonstrates a cost advantage based on self-administration and non-reliance on psychiatric expertise at triage.
Innovative
SERAS™ is an expert system based on a neural network algorithm that can improve its predictive accuracy as the amount of data increases.
