Identifies postpartum depression:
Women's body and mind go through many changes during and after pregnancy. Most new moms experience postpartum "baby blues" after childbirth. This will make them feel empty, emotionless, or sad all or most of the time for longer than two weeks during or after pregnancy. In some instances, the depression lasts for a long time, creating an extreme mood disorder called postpartum psychosis. Most of the times, it is difficult for physicians to diagnose postpartum depression for several reasons. In other instances, women fail to discuss these issues. Finally, the responsibility of this lapse falls on the doctors. Apart from launching drugs to treat postpartum depression, healthcare marketers have turned natural language processing (NLP), a tactic that has proven increasingly useful. Data scientists and psychologists trained NLP model to spot certain words and phrases that could indicate a mood disorder. The NLP model was assigned to go through several public posts and flag potential signs of postpartum depression. The team launched awareness programs to spread awareness regarding the depression among new mothers.
