SPEAKapp: Language as Digital Biomarker for Mental Health

Stud Health Technol Inform. 2022 May 25:294:937-938. doi: 10.3233/SHTI220629.

Abstract

Language has always been a rich source of amnestic information in the context of cognitive and affective disorders. Many of the language tests and metrics that are employed today have been designed when the only available technology was paper and pencil. Here we present a novel digital tool to administer and score a set of tests based on language.

Keywords: Mental Health; Natural Language Processing; mHealth.
