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.
