Read our Depression research guide →This study is designed to understand how your everyday digital behaviors—like phone use, sleep patterns, physical activity, and social interactions—relate to your mental health. Researchers will collect this information passively through a smartphone app and wearable device you wear, combined with simple questionnaires you complete four times over six months. The goal is to see whether tracking these digital patterns could help identify mental health concerns early.
Many university students experience depression, anxiety, and stress, but these conditions often go undetected until they become serious. This research explores whether monitoring digital behavior patterns could serve as an early warning system for mental health changes, potentially helping students get support sooner.

You would download a smartphone app and wear a small device that tracks your physical activity, sleep, heart rate, and phone use. The app and wearable will collect this information automatically in the background—you won't need to do anything special. You'll also complete brief mental health questionnaires at the start, after one month, after three months, and at the end of the six-month study. That's it—the monitoring happens passively while you go about your normal life.
