abstract = {Current diagnostic procedures for attention deficit
hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are mainly subjective and
prone to bias. While research on potential biomarkers,
including EEG, brain imaging, and genetics is promising, it
has yet to demonstrate clinical utility. Dopaminergic
signaling alternations and executive functioning, crucial to
ADHD pathology, are closely related to voice production.
Consistently, previous studies point to alterations in voice
and speech production in ADHD. However, studies
investigating voice in large clinical samples allowing for
individual-level prediction of ADHD are lacking. Here, 387
ADHD patients, 204 healthy controls, and 100 psychiatric
controls underwent standardized diagnostic assessment.
Subjects provided multiple 3-minutes speech samples,
yielding 920 samples. Based on prosodic voice features,
random forest-based classifications were performed, and
cross-validated out-of-sample accuracy was calculated. The
classification of ADHD showed the best performance in young
female participants (AUC = 0.87) with lower performance
in older participants and males. Psychiatric comorbidity did
not alter the classification performance. Voice features
were associated with ADHD-symptom severity as indicated by
random forest regressions. In summary, prosodic features
seem to be promising candidates for further research into
voice-based digital phenotypes of ADHD.},
