Digital measures to advance research & quality of life in schizophrenia

Schizophrenia spectrum disorders are complex and serious psychiatric disorders with multifaceted symptoms and associated difficulties, including psychosis, negative symptoms (e.g., loss of motivation), cognitive dysfunction, and functional impairment in major life areas. This multifaceted clinical picture in schizophrenia is also heterogeneous, both across individuals and within individuals over time, posing a challenge for studying groups […]

Prediction of mental effort derived from an automated vocal biomarker using machine learning in a large-scale remote sample

Biomarkers of mental effort may help to identify subtle cognitive impairments in the absence of task performance deficits. Here, we aim to detect mental effort on a verbal task, using automated voice analysis and machine learning. Nick Taptiklis, Merina Su, Jennifer H. Barnett, Caroline Skirrow, Jasmin Kroll, Francesca Cormack  Audio data from the digit span

Why don’t we trust people’s lived-experience of fatigue?

Fatigue is the sort of subjective phenomenological experience that has plagued philosophers and neuroscientists for centuries. For those with lived experience, fatigue can be debilitating, and patients can be left feeling ignored and maligned. Despite over 17 million people across Europe1, reporting symptoms of Long Covid, with fatigue being the most common symptom, there is

Speech based biomarkers for monitoring progressive changes in Alzheimer’s disease

A speech based composite which tracks change in AD over time was recently developed and piloted through a collaboration between Winterlight Labs and Genentech.

Speech is a rich source of clinical information when assessing and monitoring Alzheimer’s Disease. Natural language processing technologies, like those developed by Winterlight Labs, can objectively quantify speech and enable its use as a novel endpoint in drug development.

Highlights from AAIC 2023

The headline from this year’s AAIC in Amsterdam is undoubtedly the announcement of the results of TRAILBLAZER-ALZ-2, a phase 3 trial of Eli Lilly’s new drug Donanemab with 1,800 participants. Donanemab is an antibody-based drug that works by breaking down already-formed amyloid plaques that build up in Alzheimer’s disease (AD), rather than interfering with their production.
