As part of a three-year research study and pilot programme, seven partners from the healthcare and social sectors will come together to create an AI tool using voice biomarkers to detect early signs of depression in seniors and a community intervention programme to manage the condition outside healthcare settings.
Just as blood and stool samples are collected to provide doctors with insights into a patient’s physical health, a voice biomarker tool collects voice samples to provide clues into the patient’s mental health, with consent. When completed and if deemed successful, it is envisioned that the tool and programme will provide professionals and patients with an objective measurement to normalise conversations about a topic that is often hidden, hard to define, and often difficult to talk about.
