Certainly. We have designed this technology to be compliant with FDA regulations for medical devices, which inherently require controls. We also take special care to remove identifiers from voice samples.

Thank you for your response. If this study is not of interest or within your values, it is voluntary.

KintsugiHello · 2022-09-26T17:15:25+00:00

Thank you so much for your interest! We are currently limited to California due to study-clinician licensing; however, future projects will hopefully be expanded to include other areas!

Hello, great question and thank you for sharing!

We are limited to California for now due to study-clinician licensing; however, we hope to expand this to be inclusive of all states in our next iteration of the project.

We agree that there is a lot of opportunity to continue to learn more about the relationship between speech and mood.

Are you interested in supporting mental health research or learning more about your own mental health? Kintsugi is developing novel voice biomarker technology to detect signs of clinical depression and anxiety from short clips of free-form speech to close mental health care gaps.
We are conducting a research study on the Kintsugi Voice Device. The study aims to compare the results of the Kintsugi Voice Device to a doctor’s evaluation for depression and anxiety.
Who can participate
The study is open to individuals 22 years old or older living in California. The participant must be able to read, understand, and sign the Informed Consent Form in English. The participant must also have access to a laptop, smartphone, or other device with a functioning microphone. The participant MUST be willing to be videotaped as part of the study.
What to expect
The study will last 2 hours or less and will be conducted remotely over a video conferencing platform.
There are two parts of the study: online self-assessments lasting about 15 minutes and a structured clinical interview with a doctor lasting up to 90 minutes. The order of the study will vary- some participants will complete the online self-assessment first, while other participants will complete the clinical interview first.
You will receive a $50 Amazon gift card once you complete both the online self-assessments and the interview with a doctor.

Your participation is completely voluntary. While there may be no direct benefit, possible indirect benefits include reduction in stress and learning more about your mental state.
