Mobile sensing-based depression severity assessment in participants with heterogeneous mental health conditions.

ABSTRACT: Mobile sensing-based depression severity assessment could complement the subjective questionnaires-based assessment currently used in practice. However, previous studies on mobile sensing for depression severity assessment were conducted on homogeneous mental health condition participants; evaluation of possible generalization across heterogeneous groups has been limited.
