Dartmouth's MoodCapture app predicts depression using facial recognition and AI, advancing early intervention.
MoodCapture, an app with AI that can detect depression onset from facial cues, accurately diagnosed 75% of participants in a study with early symptoms of depression.
Dartmouth researchers report they have developed the first smartphone application that uses artificial intelligence paired with facial-image processing software to reliably detect the onset of depression before the user even knows something is wrong.
