Smarter Tools, Smarter Support? AI in Neurodiversity Diagnosis and Beyond

Listen Later

Could artificial intelligence revolutionise how we diagnose ADHD?

In this episode, Franck and Liz explore the promise - and problems - of using AI to speed up ADHD diagnosis.

From facial recognition and voice analysis to virtual reality tasks and NHS data sifting, researchers are testing new ways to spot ADHD traits faster, more affordably, and with fewer barriers.

But how accurate is it? Who is it really for? And what ethical questions do we need to consider before rolling it out?

Expect reflections on:

  • The diagnostic bottleneck, and who gets left behind
  • Why psychiatry needs to study the brain, not just behaviours
  • The potential of biomarkers and neuroimaging
  • When AI should assist vs. when it overreaches
  • How this tech could reshape what “counts” as evidence

    • Plus, we imagine a future with neuroprofilers, not labels.

    🎧 This episode is for anyone interested in the intersection of neuroscience, diagnosis, AI ethics, and lived experience.
