      Acoustic analysis of vocal expression offers a potentially inexpensive, unobtrusive, and highly sensitive biobehavioral measure of serious mental illness (SMI)-related issues. Despite literature documenting its use for understanding SMI, prior studies have largely ignored that vocal expression is highly dynamic within individuals over time. We employed ambulatory vocal assessment from SMI outpatients ...
    • Psychiatric Risk Assessment from the Clinician´s Perspective: Lessons for the Future 

      Cohen, Alex S.; Fedechko, Taylor L.; Schwartz, Elana K.; Le, Thanh P.; Foltz, Peter W.; Bernstein, Jared; Cheng, Jian; Rosenfeld, Elizabeth; Elvevåg, Brita (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-06-01)
      Accurate prediction of risk-states in Serious Mental Illnesses (SMIs) is critical for reducing their massive societal burden. Risk-state assessments are notably inaccurate. Recent innovations, including widely available and inexpensive mobile technologies for ambulatory “biobehavioral” data, can reshape risk assessment. To help understand and accelerate clinician involvement, we surveyed 90 ...
