Design and optimization of deep learning model based on multimodal data fusion for dynamic mental health assessment
Abstract: The dynamic assessment of mental health has emerged as a hotspot for study and application due to the rise in social pressure. However, onventional methods rely mostly on static scales or single-modal data, failing to fully capture multifaceted emotional and behavioral features. This study suggests a deep learning model based on multi-modal data fusion to address this problem. By combining information from multiple sources, including text and visuals, the model effectively identifies and dynamically monitors men…

A peer-reviewed study published August 6, 2026 proposes a deep learning framework for dynamic mental health assessment that fuses text and visual modalities. The model uses Bi-LSTM for text and CNN for images, trained on a jointly annotated dataset labeled with self-assessment questionnaires and expert annotations.
The work matters because it moves beyond static scales and single-modal data toward continuous monitoring for early screening and risk warning in public health and psychological services. What remains uncertain from the text is real-world clinical validation, population generalizability, and deployment constraints beyond reported precision, recall, and accuracy metrics.
- Study constructed a jointly annotated multimodal dataset with text and image information labeled via self-assessment questionnaires and expert annotations.
- Model architecture uses Bi-LSTM for text modality and convolutional neural network for image modality with an improved multimodal fusion strategy for deep feature interaction.
- Authors position the framework as a technological solution for public health management, psychological services, and smart healthcare for early screening and personalized intervention.
A Bi-LSTM and CNN fusion model combining text and visual data achieved 91.3% precision and 90.1% F-score on emotion recognition and up to 85.32% accuracy on depression classification, outperforming single-modal baselines.
The rundown
Researchers built a multimodal dataset containing text and image information, generating mental health levels and emotional tendency labels by combining self-assessment questionnaires and expert annotations.
The proposed system processes text with Bi-LSTM and images with a convolutional neural network, then applies an improved multimodal fusion strategy to enable deep feature interaction and integration for dynamic monitoring of mental states.
