About this trial

Screening with depression scales alone is subjective, and relying on single-modal data often leads to incomplete identification of symptoms that are easily missed or misdiagnosed. In this study, we first aim to use artificial intelligence to construct a depression symptom recognition model, concatenate multimodal features such as facial expression, audio, text, and postural behavior, and deeply fuse them to construct a multimodal model.
