Beyond Step Count: Are We Ready to Use Digital Phenotyping to Make Actionable Individual Predictions in Psychiatry?

Beyond Step Count: Are We Ready to Use Digital Phenotyping to Make Actionable Individual Predictions in Psychiatry?

Thus, most psychiatrists still follow a trial-and-error approach, which can take an inordinate amount of time [6]. Once patients are stable, the traditional model of clinical monitoring typically involves monthly visits that are either too infrequent or too frequent given the labile nature of mental disorders. Some models for mental disorders or behaviors (eg, suicide) have been successfully developed and they allow predictions at the population level [7,8].

Reliability of Telepsychiatry Assessments Using the Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Rating Scale-IV for Children With Neurodevelopmental Disorders and Their Caregivers: Randomized Feasibility Study

Reliability of Telepsychiatry Assessments Using the Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Rating Scale-IV for Children With Neurodevelopmental Disorders and Their Caregivers: Randomized Feasibility Study

One of the biggest challenges is the global shortage of child psychiatrists, leading to long waiting times for diagnosis. For example, in Canada and the United States, the average wait times are 7 and 13 months, respectively [6,7]. This is particularly concerning in rural or isolated areas without access to specialized medical facilities. In addition, these children may have difficulties leaving their homes and engaging in social interactions (ie, social withdrawal).

Assessing Digital Risk in Psychiatric Patients: Mixed Methods Study of Psychiatry Trainees’ Experiences, Views, and Understanding
