Digital sensing tools, like smartphones and wearables, offer transformative potential for mental health research by enabling scalable, longitudinal data collection. Realizing this promise requires overcoming significant challenges including limited data standards, underpowered studies, and a disconnect between research aims and community needs. This report, based on the 2023 Workshop on Advancing Digital Sensing Tools for Mental Health, articulates strategies to address these challenges to ensure rigorous, equitable, and impactful research.
数字传感工具,如智能手机和可穿戴设备,通过实现可扩展的纵向数据收集,为心理健康研究提供了变革性潜力。要实现这一前景,需要克服重大挑战,包括数据标准有限、研究力度不足以及研究目标与社区需求之间的脱节。本报告基于2023年心理健康数字传感工具推进研讨会,阐明了应对这些挑战的策略,以确保开展严谨、公平且有影响力的研究。
