Towards More Efficient Depression Risk Recognition via Gait (2310.06283v1)
Abstract: Depression, a highly prevalent mental illness, affects over 280 million individuals worldwide. Early detection and timely intervention are crucial for promoting remission, preventing relapse, and alleviating the emotional and financial burdens associated with depression. However, patients with depression often go undiagnosed in the primary care setting. Unlike many physiological illnesses, depression lacks objective indicators for recognizing depression risk, and existing methods for depression risk recognition are time-consuming and often encounter a shortage of trained medical professionals. The correlation between gait and depression risk has been empirically established. Gait can serve as a promising objective biomarker, offering the advantage of efficient and convenient data collection. However, current methods for recognizing depression risk based on gait have only been validated on small, private datasets, lacking large-scale publicly available datasets for research purposes. Additionally, these methods are primarily limited to hand-crafted approaches. Gait is a complex form of motion, and hand-crafted gait features often only capture a fraction of the intricate associations between gait and depression risk. Therefore, this study first constructs a large-scale gait database, encompassing over 1,200 individuals, 40,000 gait sequences, and covering six perspectives and three types of attire. Two commonly used psychological scales are provided as depression risk annotations. Subsequently, a deep learning-based depression risk recognition model is proposed, overcoming the limitations of hand-crafted approaches. Through experiments conducted on the constructed large-scale database, the effectiveness of the proposed method is validated, and numerous instructive insights are presented in the paper, highlighting the significant potential of gait-based depression risk recognition.
