App tracks mental health by studying your phone usage – Yahoo Finance Australia
Researchers have built a mobile app that gauges your mental health based on your phone usage.
The smartphone in your hand might be the key to gauging your mental health. Researchers at Dalhousie University have developed (via CBC and Gizmodo) a mobile app, PROSIT, that can detect conditions like anxiety or depression based on how you use your phone. This includes easily-tracked features like exercise, sleep, call frequency, message histories and music tastes, but also includes subtle data. Your typing speed and force can hint at an emotionally charged state, for instance.
