Researchers have developed AI-based tools that can identify subtle speech patterns in schizophrenia patients. This approach, described in a study in PNAS, aims to enhance the diagnostic precision currently relying mainly on patient conversations. In tests involving verbal fluency tasks, the AI model was less predictable in patients with schizophrenia, especially those with severe symptoms. This unpredictability is believed to be connected to ‘cognitive maps’ in the brain. The team aims to further evaluate this technology’s clinical efficacy in the coming years.

It’s a spectrum. Some people have very serious schizophrenia, some have mild schizophrenia and may not be aware that what they experience isn’t normal. Some have visual hallucinations, some have tactile hallucinations, some hallucinate smells, some rarely hallucinate or don’t hallucinate at all.
I’d also add that such tools can potentially catch schizophrenia in very early stages, meaning you have more time to get your stuff in order.
