Identifying Depression Through Deep Learning Techniques

Project Code :TEMBMA3718

Objective

To develop a real-time, AI-powered system using Raspberry Pi that detects early signs of depression by monitoring physiological signals (temperature and heart rate) and emotional indicators (facial expressions) through deep learning. The system aims to provide a non-invasive and accessible solution for continuous mental health monitoring.

Abstract

This project presents an AI-powered system for early-stage depression detection by integrating physiological and emotional indicators using deep learning techniques. The system is built on a Raspberry Pi microcontroller and incorporates a Dallas temperature sensor, a heartbeat sensor, and a web camera to monitor the user's physical and emotional states in real time. The temperature and heart rate sensors continuously track the user's vital signs, while the webcam captures facial expressions to analyze emotions using a deep learning model. An LCD display is included to show real-time readings of temperature, heart rate, and the detected emotion for user awareness. When the system detects elevated temperature and heart rate alongside a sad emotion, it classifies the condition as potential depression and issues a corresponding alert. If only a sad emotion is detected while physiological parameters remain normal, the system displays the emotional state without triggering a warning. This fusion of biometric sensing, AI-based emotion recognition, and real-time display offers a non-invasive, cost-effective, and accessible solution for mental health monitoring and early depression detection.
