Summary

This study tests a voice-analysis device designed to help clinicians screen for moderate to severe depression. Adults aged 22 and older will record their voice, and the device's assessment will be compared to a standard clinical interview. The goal is to see if the device can accurately identify signs of depression based on voice patterns, potentially offering a faster, more objective screening method.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Kintsugi Voice Device - a software-based device that analyzes voice recordings to screen for signs of moderate to severe depression.
What this could lead to: If successful, this could provide a quick, objective screening tool to help clinicians identify depression earlier and more accurately.
What could go wrong: This is an early pilot study, so the device may not prove accurate enough for real-world use. Voice-based screening is experimental and may not work for everyone.
