DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed research study will identify changes in acoustic speech parameters, using innovative cell phone based technology, in order to predict clinically significant mood state transitions in individuals with bipolar disorder. The central hypothesis is that there are quantitative changes in acoustic speech patterns that occur in advance of clinically observed mood changes. These changes is speech patterns can be identified using computational methods over longitudinal monitoring of ecologically gathered voice data that requires minimal input from the individual being observed. These computationally determined changes are imperceptible to human observation but are hypothesized to predict clinically significant mood transitions. To test this hypothesis we will study 50 rapid cycling individuals with bipolar I and II disorder and 10 healthy controls for 6 months by recording their acoustic characteristics of speech (not lexical content) while using a mobile "smart- phone". In this manner we are gathering data free of observer bias. We will also gather weekly clinical assessments with standardized instruments (Hamilton Depression Rating Scale and Young Mania Rating Scale) in which we will record their physical voice patterns as well. Bipolar disorder is an ideal disorder for the initial study of speech patterns in the assessment of psychopathology. It is an illness with pathological disruptions of emotion, cognitive and motor capacity. There is a periodicity of the illness pattern that oscillates between manic energized states with charged emotions and pressured rapid speech to depressed emotional phases with retarded movements and inhibited quality and quantity of speech. The successful management of patients with bipolar disorder requires ongoing clinical monitoring of mental states. Currently there are few technologies that address the challenge of monitoring individuals long-term in an ecological manner. Speech pattern recognition technology would allow for unobtrusive monitoring that can be seamlessly integrated into daily routine of mobile phone usage to predict future changes in illness states. The proposed study tests a highly innovative approach by developing a practical solution to assist in the longitudinal management of bipolar patients. Computational algorithms of analyzed speech patterns will use statistic (Gausian Mixture Models and Support Vector Machines) and dynamic (Hidden Markov Models) modeling. This project has the potential of transformative advances in the management of psychiatric disease, as speech patterns, and changes therein, are highly likely to be reflective of current and emerging psychopathology. If successful this technology will provide for the prioritization of patients for medical and psychiatric care based on computational detection of change patterns in voice and speech before they are clinically observable.

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议的研究将使用基于手机的技术来确定声音语音参数的变化，以预测双相情感障碍患者的临床意义情绪状态过渡。中心假设是，在临床观察到的情绪变化之前，声音语音模式发生了定量变化。这些变化是可以使用计算方法来识别语音模式，而不是对生态收集的语音数据进行纵向监视，这需要从观察到的个人中最少的输入。这些计算确定的变化是人类观察不可察觉的，但假设可以预测临床上重要的情绪转变。为了检验这一假设，我们将通过使用移动“智能手机”时记录其语音的声学特征（而不是词汇内容），研究50个患有双极I和II疾病的快速循环个体，并在6个月内进行6个月的健康对照。通过这种方式，我们正在收集无观察者偏差的数据。我们还将通过标准化仪器（汉密尔顿抑郁量表和年轻的躁狂评级量表）进行每周的临床评估，其中我们还将记录其物理语音模式。双相情感障碍是对心理病理学评估中语音模式的初步研究的理想障碍。这是一种患有情绪，认知能力和运动能力的病理破坏的疾病。疾病模式的周期性在 狂躁的状态充满了充电的情绪，并将快速的语音压迫，以抑郁的情绪阶段，运动迟缓，抑制了质量和言语的数量。对躁郁症患者的成功管理需要对精神状态进行持续的临床监测。当前，很少有技术以生态方式长期监测个人的挑战。语音模式识别技术将允许不引人注目的监视，这些监视可以无缝地集成到手机使用的日常常规中，以预测疾病状态的未来变化。拟议的研究通过开发一种实用解决方案来协助双极患者的纵向治疗来测试一种高度创新的方法。分析的语音模式的计算算法将使用统计量（高斯混合模型和支持向量机）和动态（隐藏的马尔可夫模型）建模。该项目具有在精神疾病管理中的变革性进步的潜力，因为语音模式及其变化很可能反映 当前和新兴的心理病理学。如果成功，该技术将根据对语音和语音的变化模式的计算检测在临床上可观察到的声音和语音模式的计算检测，从而为患者提供医学和精神病患者的优先级。
