The workshop was held in hybrid mode both in person and online. We had 36 in person participants and 28 online participants. For the call for papers, we received 10 papers and we accepted 5 of them. The accepted papers are all regular papers explaining a technical solution or problems related to Mental disorders, neurodegenerative diseases and in general AI applied to healthcare.

The goal of this workshop was to allow mental health researchers to expand their knowledge of advanced data science techniques while enabling data scientists to improve their methods with feedback from clinical audiences.

 The numbers of the workshop -

presented their research works in the field of AI and mental and neurodegenerative disorders. The talks followed by an expert panel discussion with in person and online participants. Panelists discussed deepening the problems of artificial intelligence applied to healthcare and the need for explainable artificial intelligence techniques as well as current challenges and actual research directions.
