Depressive and Mania Mood State Detection through Voice as a Biomarker Using Machine Learning
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Background Both depressive and mania mood state have high prevalence and are important causes of social burden worldwide, however, there is still no objective indicator for detection. This study aimed to examine if voice could be used as a biomarker to detect these symptoms in China. Methods 1,287 voice messages from 81 subjects were classified into three groups: the depression mood state group (406 voice messages from n = 31), the mania mood state group (192 voice messages from n = 14), and the remission group (689 voice messages from n = 36), based on the scores of the MDQ, QIDS and YMRS. 34 features were extracted from voice records which is collected in real-world emotional diary. A three-group comparison was performed through analysis of Kruskal-Wallis H Test. Three feature extraction methods were adopted and four machine learning methods were performed. Results 33 voice indicators showed differences among the three groups( p < 0.05). Among the machine learning methods, the best performance was obtained using the Gate Recurrent Unit with 79.6% sensitivity, 91.1% specificity and 82.5% sensitivity, 90.7% specificity for the detection of depressive and mania mood state respectively. Conclusions This study further revealed participants with depressive or manic mood state could be accurately distinguished through machine learning. Although this study is limited by a small sample size, it is the first study on voice as a biomarker in both depressive and mania mood state which suggests the possibility of detecting these mood states through voice.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
