I used a Machine Learning Models and AI-agents to recover myself from a Spinal-Cord Injury

"From quadriplegic condition to fully recovered". Dr. Nerio Leal

Human-Centered AI

My commitment to Human-Centered AI is the new reason for my existence after witnessing how Artificial Intelligence guided my recovery process and, at the same time, returned all my cognitive capabilities.

After the recovery, I used AI to detect and improve which movements might help me overcome the 4cm scar between the C6 and the T2.

Human-AI Interaction

I used extended AI-Agents and AI-Model Languages to understand complex neurologic and Central Nervous System definitions and terms to acknowledge how I would improve my conditions and recover an everyday life.

Without the support of AI-model medical trained models, it would have taken me years to understand the magnitude of my condition or cooperate with the physiotherapy and physiatric team who guided me during the entire process.

AI-Powered Cognition

Without the support of AI-model medical trained models, it would have taken me years to understand the magnitude of my condition or cooperate with the physiotherapy and physiatric team who guided me during the entire process.

Artificial Intelligence played an essential role during my mental therapy, helping me reindex multiple cognitive processes, recover fluency in the four languages I used to speak daily and learn “one more time” how to code on Python.

Extensive background in Data Governance

Passionate about the application of Artificial Intelligence to mental health

My interest in Human-Centered AI began in Madrid during my studies at IE Business School. I had the opportunity to prototype machine learning models to support detecting neurological degenerative conditions.

In cooperation with neurologists, psychiatrists and psychologists from Madrid, Spain, I joined a polyvalent team that instructed me in applying AI to medicine and mental health. This project was why I chose psychology as my second bachelor’s degree.

AI's Potential to Enhance Mental Health, Learning, and Human Intelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) can potentially revolutionize various fields, including psychology, education, and cognitive science. By leveraging machine learning algorithms and natural language processing (NLP), AI can offer imaginative explanations to address challenges in mental health, learning, and human intelligence.

Early Detection:

AI-powered tools can analyze vast amounts of data, including electronic health records, social media posts, and wearable device data, to identify patterns indicative of mental health issues. For instance, studies have shown that AI algorithms can accurately predict depressive symptoms based on language patterns in social media posts

Personalized Treatment

AI can help develop customized treatment plans by analyzing individual patient data and tailoring interventions accordingly. For example, AI-driven chatbots can provide real-time support and cognitive behavioral therapy techniques to individuals with anxiety or depression.

Mental Health Monitoring:

AI-powered wearable devices and apps can track vital signs, sleep patterns, and mood fluctuations to monitor mental health conditions and provide early warnings of potential crises

Human-AI Science Framework

Personalized Education:

AI algorithms can analyze student data, including learning styles, preferences, and performance, to create customized learning paths. This can help students learn independently and focus on areas where they need the most support

Intelligent Tutoring Systems

AI-powered tutoring systems can provide personalized feedback and guidance, adapting to the student’s needs in real-time. These systems can help students develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and other essential cognitive skills

Adaptive Testing

AI can create adaptive tests that adjust the difficulty level based on the student’s performance, ensuring the assessment is both challenging and fair

Cognitive Computing:

AI can assist humans in complex tasks by analyzing large datasets, identifying patterns, and making informed recommendations. For example, AI can help scientists discover new drugs by analyzing vast amounts of molecular data

Augmented Creativity

AI can generate new ideas and inspire creativity by providing novel perspectives and suggesting alternative approaches. For instance, AI-powered tools can assist artists in creating new designs or musicians in composing new pieces

Decision Support

AI can significantly improve mental health, learning, and human intelligence. By leveraging machine learning algorithms and natural language processing, AI can offer innovative solutions to address challenges in these areas.

This is my story

On July 17th, 2024, during a training session at the mountain Waraira Repano in Caracas, I fell off around 12 meters on my back after rescuing a lady from an imminent death risk.
The impact resulted in spinal cord edema affecting from the C6 cervical vertebrae to the T2 vertebrae.
The magnitude of the traumatism compromised my body functions, resulting in quadriplegia and body paralysis from the neck to the bottom of my body.
The situation was quite critical when I arrived at the Emergency Room at the Metropolitan Polyclinic in Caracas—fortunately, the fast procedures performed by Dr. Zerpa and Dr. Leal saved my life.
God and his infinitive power blessed me, saved me and guided me into a positive recovery.
His mercy on me guided me with a humble attitude to accept his will. A couple of months after my complete recovery, it seems that I have to go through that process to experience the undescriptive feeling of being paralyzed to support any other mental health or neuromotor patient.

Our Process

Research method foundations

Inspired by Independent Journalism​

My research does not obey media interest, and there is not censorship behind each social exploration

Data-Driven Methodology

Data is the principal foundation of every research, method, conclusion or recommendation.

Inspired by Psychology learning theories

Human cognitive processes and human learning are the structural framework for the Human-AI interaction. 

Open Education Model

Artificial Intelligence adoption must be delivered without restrictions to the community, schools and universities.
