The Relation Between Passively Collected GPS Mobility Metrics and Depressive Symptoms: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The objective, unobtrusively collected GPS features (eg, homestay and distance) from everyday devices like smartphones may offer a promising augmentation to current assessment tools for depression. However, to date, there is no systematic and meta-analytical evidence on the associations between GPS features and depression.

Objective

This study aimed to investigate the between-person and within-person correlations between GPS mobility and activity features and depressive symptoms, and to critically review the quality and potential publication bias in the field.

Methods

We searched MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Embase, CENTRAL, ACM, IEEE Xplore, PubMed, and Web of Science to identify eligible articles focusing on the correlations between GPS features and depression from
