- 2. John has been having trouble at work, and when he comes home he’s exhausted, yet he struggles to sleep. Everything seems difficult, even walking he feels like he’s made of lead. He knows something is wrong and probably should call the doctor, but that just seems like too much trouble. Maybe next week.
- 3. How depression is treated • John does see a psychiatrist or therapist • Reviewing John ‘s symptoms • sleep patterns • energy levels • appetite • ability to focus • The John will likely leave with some handouts about exercise and a prescription for medication.
- 4. The software acts quickly • App on his phone has detected changes in John. • Sensor data suggests an unusual type of depression. • The app offers to set up a video call with a psychiatrist. • The app continues to monitor John’s behavior and keep track of the treatment plans.

- 7. • Physiological data such as heart rate, temperature and galvanic skin response. • Heart rate variability can be used to track the severity of bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. • Galvanic skin response – anxiety disorder Combining all these. Behavioral data Physiological data
- 8. Beyond just diagnosing • Digital psychiatry can also help treat certain conditions. • Sensors embedded in pills. • VR therapy - to help patients overcome phobias.
- 9. Plenty of technical challenges • The biggest challenges is emotion sensing. • Patients will stop using their apps or wearing their sensors. • Rapid technology changes • Battery life and Data security. • Ethical concerns
- 10. The ultimate promise • Resent studies show that psychiatric patients can successfully manage their conditions with smart phones, computers, and wearable sensors. • Digital psychiatry can be modified, scaled, and culturally adapted to serve the global population

Editor's Notes
- Meanwhile, software on his phone has detected changes in John, including subtle differences in the language he uses, decreased activity levels, worsening sleep, and cutbacks in social activities. John’s symptoms and responses suggest that he may be clinically depressed. The app offers to set up a video call with a psychiatrist, who confirms the diagnosis.
- However, recent research results from a number of prestigious institutions, including Harvard, the National Alliance on Mental Illness, King’s College London, and the Black Dog Institute, in Australia Studies show that psychiatric patients, even those with severe illnesses like schizophrenia, can successfully manage their conditions with smart phones, computers, and wearable sensors. According to the World Health Organization, this year depression moved past hearing loss and vision problems to become the leading cause of ill health and disability worldwide.
