The U.S. Department of Defense is allocating $1.33 million to the University of Idaho for machine learning research aimed at improving the diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and supporting military families.

This funding is part of a larger initiative involving two grants totaling over $6 million, focusing on integrating wearable technology for PTSD screening and analyzing deployment-related stress impacts using health care records. The projects are set to span three to four years, employing machine learning to enhance early detection and intervention strategies.
