Speech-Derived Digital Markers of Treatment Response and Improvement Trajectories in Pediatric Anxiety
Overview
This study investigates whether acoustic and linguistic features from youth speech can predict improvement in pediatric anxiety during exposure-focused cognitive behavioral therapy. Using data from 60 participants, researchers developed machine learning models that utilized later-session speech characteristics to distinguish between those who improved and those who did not. The resource is relevant for clinicians and researchers interested in digital markers for monitoring treatment response.
