Abstract

With the ubiquitous presence of mobile phones, there is too much data that can be collected for different purposes which can be correlated to monitor multiple more user information. If used responsibly, this data can be used to assess and monitor various mental health conditions. For example, fitness sensors in wearable devices collect step counts, sleep-related data and heart rate; GPS sensors in smartphones continually collect device location, and Android on-device services collect smartphone usage habits of the user. All the data from the previous example relate to exhibited depression symptoms in users. This data, when used in conjugation, has the potential to assess and monitor such symptoms in users. In this study, we collect the mentioned user data anonymously to analyze and inspect our hypotheses.
