In a groundbreaking initiative, the Trump administration is considering a paradigm-shifting proposal that involves enlisting tech titans like Google, Amazon, and Apple to identify individuals displaying signs of mental illness and are prone to violent behavior.
At the core of this proposal is the creation of a Health Advanced Research Projects Agency (HARPA), within the Health and Human Services Department, drawing inspiration from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).
Originating in 2017, the proposal gained fresh impetus following the tragic mass shootings in El Paso and Dayton in August.
HARPA’s ambitious goal is to pioneer “breakthrough technologies” facilitating early diagnosis of neuropsychiatric violence. This will be done by deploying cutting-edge devices like Apple Watches, Amazon Echo, and Google Home to gather crucial data.
