Study Information

Symptoms of depression can result in changes to how you speak. By analyzing your speech, we think it’s possible to determine whether an antidepressant is working within a much shorter time period. We need lots of data from both healthy people and those with depression to understand what healthy speech patterns sound like. By contributing, you will improve our understanding of depression which can help those in need.

Participating in this study involves:

  • Making daily speech recordings on your iPhone or iPad for one month.
  • Filling out online surveys to tell us more about yourself and how you’re feeling.
  • Compensation for participating up to $150.
