Let your fingers do the talking: Passive typing instability predicts future mood outcomes

One of five academic papers put forward by the BiAffect team, this was published in the journal Bipolar Disorders.

Abstract:
Smartphone innovations have opened new frontiers in the assessment of disease processes. Greater day‐to‐day instability in actively reported mood and passively recorded typing kinematics across 2 weeks predicted a poorer prospective course of depression and mania. This demonstrates the feasibility and utility of digital phenotyping in detecting individual differences in disease course.
