Your words could reveal your risk: AI analyzes speech to predict psychosis
NCT ID NCT03525054
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing whether subtle changes in how people speak can predict who will develop schizophrenia. Researchers will record and analyze free speech from 215 young people aged 15-30 who are at ultra-high risk for psychosis. By using computer programs to detect semantic and syntactic patterns, they hope to build a predictive model that flags early warning signs before a full psychotic episode occurs.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a simple speech test that helps identify young people at high risk of developing schizophrenia before full symptoms appear.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. The speech markers may not prove reliable enough for clinical use, and results may not apply outside the French-speaking population studied.
