Health conditions like pain and depression are difficult to measure, yet we can hear in someone’s voice if they are upset or distressed. This study is looking to develop ways the voice can be used to track changes in a patient’s condition. By recording a speech sample and analyzing parts of the signal, we may be able to tell if a drug treatment for depression is working, or if a patient is experiencing less pain after therapy.

疼痛和抑郁等健康状况很难衡量，但我们可以从某人的声音中听到他们是否感到不安或痛苦。这项研究旨在开发一种方法，可以利用声音来跟踪患者病情的变化。通过记录语音样本并分析部分信号，我们可能能够判断治疗抑郁症的药物是否有效，或者患者在治疗后是否减轻了疼痛。
