Exploration of Perceptual Speech Features for Clinical Decision-Support in Mental Health Care
A new study explores the use of perceptual speech features to support clinical decision-making in mental health care. The research analyzes acoustic and linguistic characteristics to identify associations with symptoms of depression, anxiety, and ADHD. The findings suggest a transparent approach to speech-based mental health assessment, utilizing machine learning techniques for interpretation.
- ▪The study presents a systematic feature-based analysis framework for mental health assessment.
- ▪It examines associations between speech features and validated symptom measures of depression, anxiety, and ADHD.
- ▪The framework reveals stable relationships between symptom severity and vocal irregularities, lexical-syntactic patterns, and affective tone.
