Brief summary
The overall goal of the proposed study is to use digital phenotyping to identify and triage at-risk patients and accelerate access to critical mental health services.
Interventions
Participants will wear a wrist-based wearable device for 10 days to passively track physiological data (heart rate, steps, sleep, etc.).
Participants will respond to ecological momentary assessments (EMA) via smartphone to actively report on sleep, mood, stress, and eating habits across a 10-day period.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change in Depressive Symptoms (Beck Depression Inventory - BDI) | Baseline, Day 10, 2 months | The Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II; range 0-63) will be used to measure changes in depressive symptoms among adolescents and young adults over time. Higher scores indicate greater depressive symptom severity. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Adherence to EMA Prompts | Baseline to 2 months | Mean percentage of EMA prompts completed by participants using the MyPHD mobile app during the 2-month study period. Completion will be assessed via EMA system analytics. |
| Wearable Device Return and Use Rate | Baseline to 2 months | Percentage of participants who return and use the wearable device as instructed during the study period. Device use will be tracked through backend device usage logs. |
| Change in Anxiety Symptoms (Beck Anxiety Inventory - BAI) | Baseline, Day 10, 2 months | Measures changes in self-reported anxiety symptoms across the study period. |
| Participant Retention Rate (MyPHD App and Wearable Device) | Baseline to 2 months | Percentage of participants who remain active in the study through the 2-month follow-up period using the MyPHD app and wearable device. |
| Change in PTSD Symptoms (PCL-5) | Baseline | PTSD symptoms are measured using the PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5) for general population participants. |
| Change in Sleep Quality (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index - PSQI) | Baseline, Day 10 | Assesses subjective sleep quality and patterns. |
| Change in PTSD Symptoms (CROPS) | Baseline | PTSD symptoms are measured using the Child Report of Post-traumatic Symptoms (CROPS) for child participants. |
