1. A method of assessing a mental health state or predicting a risk level of a subject having one or more mental health conditions, the method comprising:
(a) eliciting at least one conversational-style spoken response from the subject, at least in part by engaging the subject in a spoken conversation at least in part by presenting one or more open-ended questions to the subject, wherein the at least one conversational-style spoken response comprises voice audio data;
(b) applying one or more deep learning systems to the at least one conversational-style spoken response to extract feature representations from the at least one conversational-style spoken response, wherein the feature representations comprise one or more acoustic features and/or language features;
(c) using one or more machine learning models to assess the mental health state or predict the risk level of the subject based at least on the feature representations and generate a prediction confidence of the mental health state or the risk level of the subject, wherein the one or more machine learning models comprise at least one of an acoustic model or a natural language processing (NLP) model;
(d) generating at least one metric in real-time by weighting or selecting the mental health state or the risk level of the subject assessed in (c) by each of the one of more machine learning models based on the prediction confidence, wherein the at least one metric comprises one or more scaled scores that are indicative of severity of the one or more mental health conditions, wherein the one or more scaled scores are generated using at least in part assessments by at least one of the one or more machine learning models; and
(e) providing the at least one metric associated with the subject to one or more clinical call centers, telehealth platforms and/or remote patient monitoring applications, for integration and establishing of one or more care pathways for the subject.
