Study of a Remote Voice Analysis Tool to Diagnose and Monitor Myalgic EncephalomyelitisChronic Fatigue Syndrome MECFS

What this Trial Is About

This research aims to assess the use of a remote voice analysis tool for diagnosing and managing myalgic encephalomyelitischronic fatigue syndrome MECFS. Researchers want to understand how well this voice-based tool can help identify and monitor MECFS by analyzing voice signatures. The study is observational and focuses on evaluating the feasibility of this method. Participants will record their voices using a smartphone application called Visible, while wearing the Visible Armband 2.0. They will create 5 to 10-minute recordings that include counting, vowel sounds, changing speaking speed, and repeating words every two weeks for a total of 12 weeks. These voice samples will be collected to study how voice patterns relate to MECFS symptoms and severity. During the study, participants will complete questionnaires and provide voice recordings regularly. Researchers will measure the feasibility of using the Mayo Speech Test to screen, monitor, and assess the severity of MECFS over 12 weeks. The study will track how well participants can use the technology and how accurately voice data reflects their condition. Participation will last for about 12 weeks with ongoing monitoring.
