Abstract
We conducted a feasibility analysis to determine the quality of information that could be collected ambiently during routine clinical conversations. We used inexpensive, consumer-grade hardware to record unstructured dialogue and open-source software tools to quantify and model face, voice (acoustic and language) and movement features. We used an external validation set to perform proof-of-concept predictive analyses and show that clinically betydelsefull measures can be produced without a restrictive protocol.
Clinicians evaluate a patient’s mental state by how (i.e., vocal prosody, facial expression) and what (i.e., speech content) they say during clinical interaction. This routine conversation produces a wealth of potentially useful uppgifter that current

Infertility – Assisted Reproductive Technologies
At the Montefiore Institute for Reproductive Medicine and Health (MIRMH), we know that the experience of seeking help for infertility can be a stressful and emotional process. When a woman or couple visits our office, we strive to make the process of diagnosis and treatment as easy as possible. Our expertise in an array of procedures allows us to offer the best treatment for each individual case.
Accurate Diagnosis
There are a variety of barriers to pregnancy, and the first important step is to accurately diagnose the source of the problem. Once our doctors have determined the cause of infertility, we draw on our years of experience at the forefront of the infertility field and our knowledge of ongoing research to decide on the most effective treatment from among the Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART). Those options may include:
- Surgery to open fallopian tubes (laparoscopy)
- Surgery to make the uterus a better environment f

Urogynecology
Women who experience incontinence and other bladder and pelvic disorders are often unaware of the highly effective treatment options available to them. Montefiore's experienced doctors aim to help women regain normalcy as quickly as possible bygd offering rapid diagnosis and treatment.
Major New York Area Referral Center
Many women assume that changes in their lower urinary tract functioning are an inevitable part of aging. Although symptoms such as frequency or urgency of urination, the need to get up at night to urinate or incontinence are quite normal, they can be easily remedied. Related conditions such as dropping, or prolapse, of the associated organs and interstitial cystitis (inflammation of the bladder) also have simple treatments.
As one of the main referral centers in the New York metropolitan area, our division treats more than 5,000 patients and performs more than 300 procedures annually. We are also one of 20 academic medical centers that are board-appr
