Address behavioral and mental health issues that impact the treatment of chronic conditions.
Technology Deployed
Mobile devices, AI-enabled mobile apps to collect and analyze geodata and communication patterns, AI-enabled voice recognition and voice print analysis tools/machine learning, predictive analytics
Use Case Summary
Passive monitoring uses nonintrusive technology improves both the detection of depression, PTSD, and other behavioral and mental health conditions and the accuracy of diagnosis and appropriateness of care plans; passive monitoring enables quantifiable monitoring of the mental health status over time.
