A measurement method for mental health based on dynamic multimodal feature recognition

Abstract

IntroductionThe number of college students with mental problems has increased significantly, particularly during COVID-19. However, the clinical features of early-stage psychological problems are subclinical, so the optimal intervention treatment period can easily be missed. Artificial intelligence technology can efficiently assist in assessing mental health problems by mining the deep correlation of multi-dimensional data of patients, providing ideas for solving the screening of normal psychological problems in large-scale college students. Therefore, we propose a mental health assessment method that integrates traditional scales and multimodal intelligent recognition technology to support the large-scale and normalized screening of mental health problems in colleges and universities.MethodsFirstly, utilize the psychological assessment scales based on human-computer interaction to conduct health questionnaires based on traditional methods. Secondly, integrate machine learning technology to identify the state of college students and assess the severity of psychological problems. Finally, the experiments showed that the proposed multimodal intelligent recognition method has high accuracy and can better proofread normal scale results. This study recruited 1,500 students for this mental health assessment.ResultsThe results showed that the incidence of moderate or higher stress, anxiety, and depression was 36.3, 48.1, and 23.0%, which is consistent with the results of our multiple targeted tests.ConclusionTherefore, the interactive multimodality emotion recognition method proposed provides an effective way for large-scale mental health screening, monitoring, and intervening in college students' mental health problems.

Mental Disorders Among Mothers in Contact with the Criminal Justice System: A Scoping Review and Meta-analysis

“…By contrast, the stringent criteria used in diagnostic interviews may produce low prevalence rates of mental disorders as people in the early stage of the illness are likely to be missed. Recently, multimodal assessment approaches that integrate traditional scales and behavioural and physiological sensor signals are increasingly being used to assess mental disorders in the general population (Cotes et al, 2022 ; Xu et al, 2022 ); however, no studies included in this review considered an integrated assessment approach. Emerging evidence suggests the need for gender-specific screening for a broad range of mental disorders for CJS-involved women, but none of the studies included in the review discussed whether they used standard tools or modified them to make them gender-sensitive.…”

Analysis of social metrics on scientific production in the field of emotion-aware education through artificial intelligence

“…Classification and identification research focus on AI’s ability to recognize emotions in individuals for various purposes, such as evaluative ( Vidanaralage et al, 2022 ), classificatory ( Lian, 2023 ), or as a preliminary step for emotional regulation in individuals ( Wetcho and Na-Songkhla, 2022 ). These classification and identification-oriented uses have also been employed to measure mental health ( Xu et al, 2022 ), sentiment analysis ( Peng et al, 2022 ), or even to identify warning signs regarding mental health, such as identifying depression in college students ( Ding et al, 2020 ). In all of the aforementioned cases, AI can prove to be a key tool as it enables the automatic identification and classification of emotions, which can assist educators and counselors in their task of managing students’ emotions in classrooms with a high number of students.…”
