New AI framework TAMI improves mental health assessment in older adults

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed TAMI, a novel multimodal fusion framework designed to improve the assessment of depression and anxiety in older adults with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). TAMI addresses limitations in existing methods by temporally aligning speech, language, facial, and physiological features, accounting for missing data across modalities, and providing interpretability for clinical insights. In trials with 49 participants, TAMI achieved AUROC scores of 0.68 for depression and 0.69 for anxiety, with temporal alignment proving to be the most significant performance enhancer. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more scalable and accurate mental health screening tools for vulnerable populations.

    TAMI: Temporally Aligned, Missingness-Aware, and Interpretable Multimodal Fusion for Mental Health Assessment in Older Adults with Mild Cognitive Impairment

    arXiv:2608.30857v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Depression and anxiety in older adults with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) are frequently underdiagnosed due to limited access to care. Multimodal analysis of remote clinical interviews is a scalable screening approach, but exist…
