Aphasia is an acquired communication disorder resulting from brain damage and impairs an individual’s ability to use, produce, and comprehend language. Loss of communication skills can be stressful and may result in depression, yet most stress and depression diagnostic tools are designed for adults without aphasia. This project is a research effort to predict stress and depression from acoustic profiles of adults with aphasia using linear support-vector regression. The labels were obtained through caregiver surveys (SADQ-10) or surveys not designed for adults with aphasia (PSS).
