  • Mood monitoring of bipolar disorder using speech analysis
    Patent number: 9685174
    Abstract: A system that monitors and assesses the moods of subjects with neurological disorders, like bipolar disorder, by analyzing normal conversational speech to identify speech data that is then analyzed through an automated speech data classifier. The classifier may be based on a vector, separator, hyperplane, decision boundary, or other set of rules to classify one or more mood states of a subject. The system classifier is used to assess current mood state, predicted instability, and/or a change in future mood state, in particular for subjects with bipolar disorder.
