Development of the Aiberry AI Mental Health Screening Platform in a Diverse Population
Development of the Aiberry AI Mental Health Screening Platform in a Diverse Population
Aiberry is creating a multi-modal artificial intelligence (AI) platform that analyzes facial, audio and text features to screen for mental illness. This multicenter study will be used to collect data to validate the platform's ability to detect depression and anxiety in a diverse patient population.
Aiberry is developing a proprietary AI platform that leverages machine learning to screen for mental illness using a multi-modal approach that fuses rich visual, audio, text, gestures, and eye gaze information. Our objective in this study is to validate algorithms that predict how individuals will respond to self-report questionnaires used to screen for major depressive disorder (MDD) and general anxiety disorder (GAD). Prior to enrollment, participants will participate in a baseline screening questionnaire to collect demographic information, health history, and current depression severity. If participants meet eligibility requirements and demographic recruitment targets, they will be invited to a single virtual study visit in which they will complete a 10-15 minute recorded interview with a study staff member along with three brief self-report questionnaires: 1) the Quick Inventory of Depression Symptoms Self Report (QIDS-SR-16), 2) the General Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7), and 3) the mini-version of the Mood and Anxiety Questionnaire (mini-MASQ), which will be used as a validity check that participant responses are consistent between this and the previous two questionnaires. We will evaluate how well the AI technology is able to predict self-reported symptoms of depression and anxiety by analyzing facial, audio, and text features from interview videos.
