LIV
Reshaping Mental Health Care with AI-Driven Clinical Decision Support
Developed at Sheba’s ARC Innovation Center in partnership with Microsoft and KPMG, LIV is an advanced AI-based platform that is setting a new global benchmark for psychiatric care.
Designed to support clinicians, streamline operations, and enhance diagnostic accuracy, LIV empowers healthcare systems to respond faster and smarter to the growing mental health needs.
A Leap Forward in Mental Health Treatment
Mental health disorders affect one in eight people globally, yet access to timely diagnosis and care remains limited. LIV addresses this challenge through a unique AI-powered solution:
Simulates a complete psychiatric intake using natural language processing
Identifies high-risk situations using facial expression and voice pattern analysis
Personalizes care based on patient data, culture, and personality
Ensures full HIPAA compliance and integrates with existing EHR/CRM systems
This scalable, 24/7 platform is not only accurate, achieving a 94% diagnostic precision rate in early trials, but also adaptable across high-demand environments like hospitals, military units, and rehabilitation centers.
“At Sheba, we created LIV, an AI avatar that’s able to diagnose mental health conditions, determine the severity, and triage the patients who would need to see a a mental health specialist today versus who can wait a few weeks or months to see that human specialist, and in the meantime we provide them with digital tools for mindfulness and other capabilities that would help them along the way.” — Prof. Eyal Zimlichman, Chief Innovation & Transformation Officer, Sheba Medical Center.
