Comment on Kinect can now be used to diagnose depression with 90% accuracy?parent

hahahaha! I guess it's how you interpret that 90% figure.

If you interpret it as a measure of the tests sensitivity, then you're right 90% is pretty easy to beat!

If you interpret it as a measure of the tests specificity, then 90% accuracy is pretty darn good!

A little more accuracy would be nice, but then the title wouldn't be click-bait.

I like the idea though. Accurate depression test: Are you depressed? No. 93.3% accurate!
