• Abstract: According to the Global Burden of Disease list provided by the World Health Organization (WHO), mental disorders are among the most debilitating disorders.To improve the diagnosis and the therapy effectiveness in recent years, researchers have tried to identify individual biomarkers. Gathering neurobiological data however, is costly and time-consuming. Another potential source of information, which is already part of the clinical routine, are therapist-patient dialogues. While there are some pioneering works investigating the role of language as predictors for various therapeutic parameters, for example patient-therapist alliance, there are no large-scale studies. A major obstacle to conduct these studies is the availability of sizeable datasets, which are needed to train machine learning models. While these conversations are part of the daily routine of clinicians, gathering them is usually hindered by various ethical (purpose of data usage), legal (data privacy) and technical (data formatting) limitations. Some of these limitations are particular to the domain of therapy dialogues, like the increased difficulty in anonymisation, or the transcription of the recordings. In this paper, we elaborate on the challenges we faced in starting our collection of therapist-patient dialogues in a psychiatry clinic under the General Data Privacy Regulation of the European Union with the goal to use the data for Natural Language Processing (NLP) research. We give an overview of each step in our procedure and point out the potential pitfalls to motivate further research in this field.

• Detecting the Clinical Features of Difficult-to-Treat Depression using Synthetic Data from Large Language Models [0.20971479389679337]
  We seek to develop a Large Language Model (LLM)-based tool capable of interrogating routinely-collected, narrative (free-text) electronic health record data. We use LLM-generated synthetic data (GPT3.5) and a Non-Maximum Suppression (NMS) algorithm to train a BERT-based span extraction model. We show it is possible to obtain good overall performance (0.70 F1 across polarity) on real clinical data on a set of as many as 20 different factors, and high performance (0.85 F1 with 0.95 precision) on a subset of important DTD

  We take a novel approach that leverages large language models to synthesize clinically useful insights from multi-sensor data. We develop chain of thought prompting methods that use LLMs to generate reasoning about how trends in data relate to conditions like depression and anxiety. We find models like GPT-4 correctly reference numerical data 75% of the time, and clinician participants express strong interest in using this approach to interpret self-tracking data.

  This paper introduces the first chronic cancer pain dataset, collected as part of the Intelligent Sight and Sound (ISS) clinical trial. The data collected to date consists of 29 patients, 509 smartphone videos, 189,999 frames, and self-reported affective and activity pain scores. Using static images and multi-modal data to predict self-reported pain levels, early models show significant gaps between current methods available to predict pain.
