Toward clinical digital phenotyping: a timely opportunity to consider purpose, quality, and safety // 06.09.2019, Nature
“There is growing research interest in using data generated passively by personal electronic devices to provide insights into human health and disease. This is particularly important for areas such as mental health and psychiatric illness where there is a lack of more objective measures of improvement or deterioration. If continuous quantitation using patients’ own devices could produce digital markers that are useful in improving diagnosis and assessment of patients, this could in turn lead to more targeted treatments and better clinical monitoring. This review paper discusses opportunities to accelerate and scale the application and clinical impact of digital phenotyping.”
