Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purposes of this study are to investigate the relationship between non-verbal communication (facial expression, voice, etc.) and patient’s depressive mood, anxiety or patient satisfaction and to reveal physician’s non-verbal factors contributing to patient satisfaction.
We videotaped 500 interviews of new and re-visit patients and analyzed the facial expression, voice, and movement of extremities using computer. The patients’ depressive mood, anxiety, and patient satisfaction were also examined by questionnaires. We found the association between smile, time duration of eye gazing, and strenuous movement of angle of mouth and depression/anxiety.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

非言語的に画像や音声のみで抑うつ、不安、満足などの感情をある程度推測できることがわかり、重要であると考える。診療の際の患者の精神状態のみならず、小中学生の自殺の予防など、様々な分野で応用できると考えられ、意義が非常に大きいと考えられる。今後はさらに多くの表情の特徴量、音声の特徴量を明らかにし、また顔色などその他の特徴量を使用して解析し、より精度が高く感情を明らかにできるエンジンを開発する予定である。
