Multimodal Assessment of Schizophrenia and Depression Utilizing Video, Acoustic, Locomotor, Electroencephalographic, and Heart Rate Technology: Protocol for an Observational Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Current standards of psychiatric assessment and diagnostic evaluation rely primarily on the clinical subjective interpretation of a patient's outward manifestations of their internal state. While psychometric tools can help to evaluate these behaviors more systematically, the tools still rely on the clinician's interpretation of what are frequently nuanced speech and behavior patterns. With advances in computing power, increased availability of clinical data, and improving resolution of recording and sensor hardware (including acoustic, video, accelerometer, infrared, and other modalities), researchers have begun to demonstrate the feasibility of cutting-edge technologies in aiding the assessment of psychiatric disorders.
