Reliability, validity, and correlates of an AI voice emotion recognition app among nurses.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Digital tools are increasingly widespread in healthcare, particularly in the fields of emotion recognition and mental health assessment.

Objectives

This study evaluated whether an artificial intelligence (AI) voice emotion recognition (VER) app could identify nurses' emotions and explored its associations with their background and health conditions.

Methods

The emotions of 349 clinical nurses at a medical center in northern Taiwan were analyzed using an AI VER app and several standardized psychological questionnaires. To control for potential confounding variables, demographic and health-related factors including age, gender, work experience, exercise habits, and history of physical symptoms were collected and statistically adjusted in correlation analyses.
