Most AI guardrails are built for general-purpose tasks, like catching policy or rules violations. Because they aren't specialized, these tools often miss the subtle signs that someone is in a mental health crisis. At Verily Health, we’ve created technology specifically for healthcare. Our new research in NPJ Digital Medicine explains how we built a safety system and a dataset designed for clinical needs. Our guardrail catches signs of distress that general AI guardrails miss. This means we can detect true crises more consistently. Read the full details of our publication and benchmark dataset: https://veri.ly/3RtVWM2 #MentalHealthAwareness
