More info: The client’s depression has worsened.

DRS-AI evaluates the client’s depression, where 0-2 = No signs of depression 3-6 = mild depression 7-10 = depression 11-14 = severe depression

The assessment takes into account

  • negative talk
  • irritability
  • fears
  • expressing concerns
  • sadness
  • tearfulness

The values of the DRS-AI score are usually close to the values of the DRS score (see https://academic.oup.com/ageing/article/37/1/51/25226), but may deviate from it in some situations because DRS-AI is based on the customer’s daily care notes read by artificial intelligence.
