Analyzing your voice to spot frailty and distress
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study checks whether analyzing how you speak can help measure frailty (overall vulnerability) and distress (emotional stress) in people with active cancer. It may help clinicians track symptoms in a simple, noninvasive way using short voice recordings.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (18 years or older) with active cancer or a blood cancer
- You can speak, read, and understand German fluently
- You can give written consent
- Your vision and hearing are good enough (or can be corrected) to take part in the study tasks
- You can focus for about 20–30 minutes during the session (as the study clinician decides)
- You do not have clear voice problems, like not being able to speak (aphonia) or a noticeably altered voice

This study tests a short screening questionnaire called G8 to see how well it helps doctors assess the health and needs of older adults (70+) with solid tumors before starting cancer treatment. If you join, you'll answer some simple questions about your daily life and overall health.
This study looks at whether changes in your voice can help detect early return of laryngeal or hypopharyngeal cancer. If you’ve finished curative treatment and are disease-free for a certain period, your voice will be monitored to see if it can signal recurrence sooner.
This trial tests whether analyzing your voice recordings (taken daily) can detect changes in lung artery pressure. It could help monitor heart failure without extra clinic visits.
This study collects voice recordings through a smartphone app to see if they can be used to monitor health. If you are an adult who speaks French, English, German, or Portuguese and own a compatible smartphone, you may be able to join.
This study is looking for “vocal biomarkers,” meaning voice patterns that could hint at how well people are doing with chronic (long-term) health conditions. Your participation would involve providing voice samples so researchers can see what voice features relate to health.
This trial tests if recording your voice can help doctors monitor heart failure that has suddenly gotten worse. You participate by giving voice samples, which may help find new ways to track your condition.
