Summary of 49 Bluetooth features used in this paper and their short descriptions.

Category Abbreviation Description Number of features (N=49)
Statistical features [Second-order feature]_[Daily feature], eg, Max_Mean Second-order features (max, min, mean, and standard deviation) calculated in the PHQ-8a interval based on daily statistical Bluetooth features (max, min, mean, and standard deviation). 16
Multiscale entropy (MSE) MSE_1, MSE_2, …, MSE_24 Multiscale entropy of the NBDCb sequences from scale 1 to scale 24. 24
Frequency domainc LF_sum, MF_sum, HF_sum The sums of spectrum power in LF, MF, and HF. 3
Frequency domain LF_pct, MF_pct, HF_pct The percentages of spectrum power in LF, MF, and HF to the total spectrum power. 3
Frequency domain LF_se, MF_se, HF_se Spectral entropy in LF, MF, and HF. 3

aPHQ-8: 8-item Patient Health Questionnaire.

bNBDC: nearby Bluetooth device count.

cLF: low frequency (0-0.75 cycles/day); MF: middle frequency (0.75-1.25 cycles/day); HF: high frequency (>1.25 cycles/day).
