Object: This review evaluates the use of smartphone-based voice data for predicting and monitoring depression.

Methods: A scoping review was conducted, examining 14 studies from Medline, Scopus, and Web of Science (2010-2023) on voice data collection methods and the use of voice features for minitoring depression.

Results: Voice data, especially prosodic features like fundamental frequency and pitch, show promise for predicting depression, though their sole predictive power requires further validation. Integrating voice with multimodal sensor data has been shown to improve accuracy significantly.

Conclusion: Smartphone-based voice monitoring offers a promising, noninvasive, and cost-effective approach to depression management. The integration of machine learning with sensor data could significantly enhance mental health monitoring, necessitating further research and longitudinal studies for validation.

Artificial intelligence (AI) methods have been proposed for the prediction of social behaviors that could be reasonably understood from patient-reported information. This raises novel ethical concerns about respect, privacy, and control over patient data. Ethical concerns surrounding clinical AI systems for social behavior verification can be divided into two main categories: (1) the potential for inaccuracies/biases within such systems, and (2) the impact on trust in patient-provider relationships with the introduction of automated AI systems for "fact-checking", particularly in cases where the data/models may contradict the patient.

Background: Road-related injuries and deaths are among the most significant and avoidable public health problems in Canada. Modifications to the built environment (BE) can reduce injury rates for vulnerable road users (VRUs) and other priority populations who experience disproportionate risk. This paper highlights public health professionals' experiences working in injury prevention across Ontario public health units (PHUs) navigating barriers and facilitators to BE change.

Objectives: Diabetes distress can negatively affect the well-being of individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Voice-based (VB) technology can be used to develop inexpensive and ecological tools for managing diabetes distress. This study explored the competencies to engage with digital health services, needs and preferences of individuals with T1D or caring for a child with this condition regarding VB technology to inform the tailoring of a co-designed tool for supporting diabetes distress management.
