Aberrations in physiology and behavior associated with neuropsychiatric illness that are detectable by sensors in smartphones and wearables
| Sensor type | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Illness | Accelerometry | HR | GPS | Calls & SMS |
| Stress & depression | Disruptions in circadian rhythm and sleep | Emotion mediates vagal tone which manifests as altered HRV | Irregular travel routine | Decreased social interactions |
| Bipolar disorder | Disruptions in circadian rhythm and sleep, locomotor agitation during manic episode | ANS dysfunction via HRV measures | Irregular travel routine | Decreased or increased social interactions |
| Schizophrenia | Disruptions in circadian rhythm and sleep, locomotor agitation or catatonia, diminished overall activity | ANS dysfunction via HRV measures | Irregular travel routine | Decreased social interactions |
| PTSD | Inconclusive evidence | ANS dysfunction via HRV measures | Inconclusive evidence | Decreased social interactions |
| Dementia | Dementia Disruptions in circadian rhythm, diminished locomotor activity | Inconclusive evidence | Wandering away from home | Decreased social interaction |
| Parkinson’s disease | Gait impairment, ataxia, dyskinesia | ANS dysfunction via HRV measures | Inconclusive evidence | Voice features can indicate vocal impairment |
