Healthy people generally express rich emotions whereas if stress is accumulated, and depressed the expression of emotions declines. Based on our previous research and studies estimate the state of mental health from the aspect of emotional expression using the voice.We developed the core technology that named MIMOSYS (Mind Monitoring System) for measuring the mental health state from the voice, and implemented it on the Android OS smartphone. MIMOSYS inputs speech and outputs two speech indices, Vitality which is a short-term indicator and Mental Activity which is calculated from the long-term tendency of Vitality. In order to verify the medical validity of the MIMOSYS, using as application for smartphone, social implementation research was carried out by the University of Tokyo and it was operated for more than two years. As a result, in the difference between men and women, showed similar trends in speech analysis and self-descriptive questionnaire.
