Tracking and Detecting depression level using facial recognition and PEN & IQ test

In this study, we propose a novel approach for monitoring and tracking depression levels by making use of facial recognition technology, PEN test and IQ test. The hypothesis underlying our methodology is that there may be certain specific changes in face expressions related to depression along with an overall decline in cognitive function which are measurable using these tests. This technique involves two phases – firstly it analysis the depression related changes in the facial expressions and then second phase uses PEN and IQ test for determining its depression level. The proposed approach suggested by research focuses on tracking and detecting depression levels, so using this we can potentially aid in early diagnosis and treatment of depression.
