Abstract

This presentation will illustrate the usefulness of complementing wearable sensor studies with speech and patient narratives for better measurement contextualization and deeper insights into the lived experiences of persons with chronic diseases. Moreover, I will showcase a new tool for harnessing speech in health studies and outline a roadmap for its application and continued development within our Endotrain project.
