- Original description
Researchers hope to see if the data smartphones collect continuously can be used to predict if patient's depression symptoms will return. They will do this by collecting data from patient's smartphones and comparing it to their depression symptoms. If this method is successful, researchers could develop a smartphone application to help healthcare providers better monitor patient's depression and intervene earlier if symptoms return.Read full original descriptionShow less
