Summary

This study tested whether a speech analysis platform called AcceXible can accurately screen for depression and anxiety in university students. Over 900 students aged 16-25 provided voice samples through open-ended speaking tasks. The platform analyzed acoustic and linguistic features to see if it could identify those with depression or anxiety, compared to standard questionnaires. The goal is to develop a quick, digital screening tool that could help catch mental health issues earlier.
