Speech pause distribution as an early marker for Alzheimer's disease

Patricia Pastoriza-Dominguez et al.

Summary: This study investigated the distribution of speech pause durations in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD), amnestic multi-domain MCI patients (a-mdMCI), and healthy controls. The results showed significant differences in pause distribution among the groups, suggesting the potential use of this feature in future diagnostic tools.

Many Changes in Speech through Aging Are Actually a Consequence of Cognitive Changes

Israel Martinez-Nicolas et al.

Summary: This study aimed to identify the effects of aging, cognitive state, and their interaction on speech parameters. The results showed that certain speech parameters were related to cognitive state, while disturbance parameters were influenced by age. Frequency parameters were primarily influenced by gender. Understanding these effects is crucial for using speech as a clinical marker for detecting cognitive impairments.

Language Decline Characterizes Amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment Independent of Cognitive Decline

Janet Cohen Sherman et al.

Summary: The study found significant language deficits in aMCI patients, especially in syntax-semantics integration in complex sentence processing. Compared with the healthy aging and healthy young groups, aMCI performed significantly worse in psycholinguistic tests. Furthermore, the results indicate a certain level of independence between memory deficits and language deficits.

Temporal Integration of Text Transcripts and Acoustic Features for Alzheimer's Diagnosis Based on Spontaneous Speech

Matej Martinc et al.

Summary: The study introduces a multimodal approach to Alzheimer's dementia detection based on spontaneous speech. By combining ADR voice processing technique with bag-of-n-grams features, the machine learning model achieves high accuracy in distinguishing between Alzheimer's patients and healthy controls. Late fusion of different feature configurations leads to state-of-the-art performance on Alzheimer's disease classification task.

Using Acoustic Speech Patterns From Smartphones to Investigate Mood Disorders: Scoping Review

Olivia Flanagan et al.

Summary: Smartphones can be used to diagnose and monitor mood disorders by monitoring speech patterns. Studies show that voice data from smartphones can predict mood states and fluctuations with reasonable accuracy. However, challenges remain around methodological heterogeneity and the need for further clinical evaluation of such approaches.

Alzheimer's Dementia Recognition Using Acoustic, Lexical, Disfluency and Speech Pause Features Robust to Noisy Inputs

Morteza Rohanian et al.

Summary: We propose two multimodal fusion-based deep learning models that utilize ASR transcribed speech and acoustic data to classify if a speaker has Alzheimer's Disease and to what degree. Our best model achieves 84% accuracy and 4.26 RSME error prediction on MMSE cognitive scores, showing considerable gains for AD classification using multimodal fusion and gating.

Israel Martinez-Nicolas et al.

Summary: The field of voice and speech analysis has gained popularity in detecting neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and mild cognitive impairment. Studies have found that speech analysis is a cost-effective and reliable method with high diagnostic accuracy for distinguishing between healthy aging and cognitive disorders. Researchers have identified specific speech features that can effectively diagnose these conditions.

Tablet-Based Automatic Assessment for Early Detection of Alzheimer's Disease Using Speech Responses to Daily Life Questions

Yasunori Yamada et al.

Summary: Health-monitoring technologies for automatically detecting the early signs of Alzheimer's disease have become increasingly important. Speech responses to daily life questions can achieve high accuracy in detecting mild cognitive impairment, comparable to using neuropsychological tasks. Combining daily life questions with traditional neuropsychological tasks could be useful for developing less burdensome health-monitoring technologies for early detection of AD.
