The aim of the study was to estimate the prevalence of post-stroke depression (PSD) in the acute phase following first-ever stroke, and to identify its sociodemographic and clinical correlates. Data were collected in a cross-sectional correlational study from face-to-face interviews using structured questionnaires and patients' medical records. The sample consisted of 109 patients with first-ever stroke. Depressive symptoms after stroke were measured with Beck Depression Inventory II. Mild, moderate or severe depressive symptoms were reported by 27% of the participants. PSD was uniquely associated with post-stroke fatigue, sleep latency and sleep disturbance. Patients with PSD also reported slightly more bodily pain. Stroke type, stroke location, and the sociodemographic characteristics we examined were unrelated to PSD. Further research is needed to assess the role sleep changes, fatigue and bodily pain might have in relation to depression in the acute phase after stroke.

In the fields of engineering, science, technology, and medicine, artificial intelligence (AI) has made significant advancements. In particular, the application of AI techniques in medicine, such as machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL), is rapidly growing and offers great potential for aiding physicians in the early diagnosis of illnesses. Depression, one of the most prevalent and debilitating mental illnesses, is projected to become the leading cause of disability worldwide by 2040.

Background: Mental health concerns have become increasingly prevalent; however, care remains inaccessible to many. While digital mental health interventions offer a promising solution, self-help and even coached apps have not fully addressed the challenge. There is now a growing interest in hybrid, or blended, care approaches that use apps as tools to augment, rather than to entirely guide, care.
