TRUSTING Newsletter Volume II: A Turning Point in 2025

The second edition of the TRUSTING newsletter is now online! This issue captures a pivotal moment in TRUSTING’s journey, completing the second year and preparing to move into real-world testing of our speech-based psychosis relapse detection tool.

In the foreword, Work Package 2 leader Professor Wolfram Hinzen reflects on the solid foundations built so far:

  • Teams in Groningen, Barcelona, and Tromsø have made significant headway in algorithm development and technical groundwork.
  • Work Package 4 in Zürich is finalising the trial architecture, having navigated complex regulatory and coordination challenges.
  • The Tromsø team (WP3) has developed the technical infrastructure, while WP1 and WP2 are delivering promising models to identify speech and language patterns linked to symptom prediction.
  • Notably, analyses from Groningen and Barcelona confirm that psychosis-related symptoms can be predicted confidently, sometimes using solely acoustic and prosodic speech features.

This edition also includes:

  • A recap of our Annual Meeting in Barcelona, where we aligned strategies and advanced trial planning.
  • Launches of the TRUSB-P and TRUSB-C webpages that showcase our commitment to meaningful user involvement.
  • News on real-world testing, ethics submissions, and TRUSTING’s outreach efforts—including media coverage and AI in psychosis care.
  • Reflections on research featured in Nature about voice biomarkers and our team’s involvement, as well as the latest on speech technology in psychosis monitoring.
