Mental Health Monitoring: Design Concept of a Smartphone Application

Stud Health Technol Inform. 2024 Jan 25:310:1544-1545. doi: 10.3233/SHTI231285.

Abstract

Mental health (MH) has become a global issue. Digital phenotyping in mental healthcare provides a highly effective, scaled, cost-effective approach to handling global MH problems. We propose an MH monitoring application. The application monitors overall MH based on mood, stress, behavior, and personality. Further, it proposes objective MH assessment from smartphone data and subjective screening of MH via periodic, short, self-report standardized questionnaires.

Keywords: Mental health monitoring; explainable assessments; smartphone.
