Beschreibung
This conference brings together leading researchers and clinicians to explore advances in multimodal mechanisms and assessment of speech and language (including reading) for medical diagnostics and interventions. With growing emphasis on the integration of multimodal data (e.g., neurophysiology, peripheral physiology, speech, eye movements and other visual language markers) in different settings (e.g., lab, clinic, patient-doctor interactions) to enhance the understanding of speech and language (including reading) disorders, the event highlights how novel methods and computational tools are transforming the landscape of clinical assessment. Furthermore, the conference emphasizes research and initiatives on using speech, text, or visual means for medical documentation and organization.
The conference has the goal of discussing key points to enable more accurate diagnoses and effective interventions for conditions such as
- developmental disorders (e.g., dyslexia, autism, ADHD)
- psychiatric disorders (e.g., psychosis, depression, suicidality)
- neurocognitive disorders (e.g., dementia, Parkinson’s disease, stroke recovery)
as well as in the area of medical documentation.
Attendees will engage in poster and plenary presentations and discussions spanning novel methodologies, real-world clinical applications, and future directions of AI-powered, multimodal evaluation of speech, language, and reading in (pre)clinical populations.
