Spontaneous speech enables scalable digital phenotyping of physical functional deficits in aging
This study demonstrates that spontaneous speech, analyzed with machine learning, can serve as a non-invasive digital biomarker for multidimensional physical functional deficits in aging. It achieves high classification accuracy (mean AUC = 0.91 ± 0.04) across ten critical physical domains, with multimodal emotional task stacking enhancing detection for 80% of measures. Explainable AI reveals distinct speech signatures reflecting pathophysiological mechanisms, categorized into lexico-syntactic simplification, neuromotor-temporal slowing, and articulatory-spectral decline. This approach offers clinical-grade precision via accessible smartphone recordings, enabling scalable screening for precision geriatrics.
