Summary
This study is testing whether an AI platform called Okaya can accurately detect fatigue and depression in people with heart conditions. Participants will complete standard questionnaires and an AI assessment that analyzes facial and vocal features. The goal is to see if the AI matches up with proven screening tools. Around 100 adults are being recruited.
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 provide a quick, non-invasive way to screen for fatigue and depression in heart patients using just a webcam.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage observational study. The AI may not be accurate enough yet, and results might not apply to other groups.
