Listening Beyond the Words
Speech can reveal a lot about how someone is doing, and for people living with schizophrenia, this is especially true. In a recent study at the Centre of Excellence in Youth Mental Health (CEYMH), we used artificial intelligence (AI) to analyse short pieces of speech from people with and without schizophrenia-spectrum disorders, and discovered that the AI did not need to look at what people said, but simply at how their voice sounded.
