Abstract
BACKGROUND: Niacin Skin-Flushing Response (NSR) has emerged as a promising objective biomarker for the precise diagnosis of mental disorders. However, its diagnostic potential has been constrained by the limitations of traditional statistical approaches. The advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers a transformative opportunity to overcome these challenges. This study presents a novel contribution to the field by establishing an open-access dataset and developing advanced AI-driven tools to enhance the diagnostic accuracy of psychiatric disorders through NSR analysis.
