Vibraimage Technology for Detecting Depression in Psychiatric Outpatients

Completed

• Conditions: Depression

• Registration Number: NCT06793176
• Lead Sponsor: Peking University People's Hospital

Brief Summary

Vibraimage technology captures high-frame-rate images of head-neck movements, converting them into vibraimages that display muscle vibration amplitude and frequency. Using algorithms and calculations, it derives an emotional index from these images. This non-contact, objective method analyzes psychological indicators through micro-movement detection. An algorithm has been developed to detect depression by calculating 12 emotional and 2 psychophysiological parameters. This diagnostic accuracy study aims to validate the technology's ability to diagnose depression in psychiatric outpatients.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
discrimination	Participants undergo video capture and same-day clinical diagnosis by a physician. Video analysis and suggestive diagnosis are completed on the following day.	The primary outcome measure is the diagnostic discrimination of Vibraimage technology for depression, assessed by calculating the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Participants first undergo video capture, followed by a clinical diagnosis of depression by a physician. Both the physician and participants are blinded to the results of the video analysis.
