While substantial investment has been made in the early identification of mental and behavioural health disorders in service members, rates of depression, substance abuse and suicidality continue to climb. Objective and persistent measures are needed for early identification and treatment of these rising health issues. Considerable potential lies at the intersection of biology, wearables and artificial intelligence to provide high accuracy, objective monitoring of mental and behavioural health in training, operations and healthcare settings. While the current generation of wearable devices has predominantly targeted non-military use cases, military agencies have demonstrated successes in monitoring and diagnosis via off-label uses. Combined with context-aware and individualised algorithms, the integration of wearable data with artificial intelligence allows for a deeper understanding of individual-level and group-level mental and behavioural health at scale. Emerging digital phenotyping approaches which leverage ubiquitous sensing technology can provide monitoring at a greater scale, lower price point and lower individual burden by removing the need for additional body-worn technology. The intersection of this technology will enable individualised strategies to promote service member mental and physical health, reduce injury, and improve long-term well-being and deployability.
尽管在服务人员的心理健康和行为障碍的早期识别方面投入了大量资金，但抑郁、药物滥用和自杀率仍在攀升。需要客观和持续的措施来早期识别和治疗这些不断上升的健康问题。在生物、可穿戴设备和人工智能的交叉点上存在着巨大的潜力，可以为训练、行动和医疗保健环境中的心理和行为健康提供高精度、客观的监测。虽然当前一代的可穿戴设备主要针对非军事应用案例，但军事机构已经通过非标签用途展示了在监测和诊断方面的成功。结合上下文感知和个性化算法，将可穿戴设备数据与人工智能相结合，可以更深入地了解个体和群体层面的心理和行为健康。新兴的数字表型方法利用无处不在的传感技术，可以通过消除对额外穿戴技术的需求，以更低的价格点和更低的个体负担提供更大规模的监测。这项技术的交叉点将使个性化策略能够促进服务人员的身心健康，减少伤害，并提高长期幸福感和部署能力。
