SpeakSense AI Diagnostics: a voice-based AI solution for detecting and diagnosing depression

The aim is to revolutionise medical diagnostics with the help of a speech-based AI-assisted application. Using speech patterns and voice characteristics, depression and suicidal behaviour can be detected, thus making it easier to identify people at risk. This not only facilitates access to treatment options, but also enables the early identification of potentially vulnerable individuals in order to provide them with appropriate support. The project team includes the Institute for Telematics at the University of Lübeck and the Institute for Education and Social Innovation in Bonn, as well as Hanse Innovation Campus GmbH in Lübeck.
