Artificial Intelligence can diagnose PTSD by analysing voices: Study

New York: Researchers have developed an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based computer programme that can help diagnose post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in veterans by analysing their voices.
The study, published in the journal Depression and Anxiety, found that an AI tool can distinguish with 89 per cent accuracy between the voices of those with or without PTSD.
“Our findings suggest that speech-based characteristics can be used to diagnose this disease, and with further refinement and validation, may be employed in the clinic in the near future,” said co-author Charles R. Marmar, Professor at NYU School of Medicine.
For the study, the research team used a statistical/Machine Learning (ML) technique, called random forests, that has the ability to “learn” how to classify individuals based on examples.
