Feasibility of Collecting and Linking Digital Phenotyping, Clinical, and Genetics Data for Mental Health Research: Pilot Observational Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Digital phenotyping-the use of digital data to measure and understand behavior and internal states-shows promise for advancing predictive analytics in mental health, particularly when combined with other data sources. However, linking digital phenotyping data with sources of highly sensitive clinical or genetic data remains rare, primarily due to technical, ethical, and procedural challenges. Understanding the feasibility of collecting and linking these data types is a critical first step toward developing novel multimodal datasets.

Objective

The Mobigene Pilot Study examines the feasibility of collecting smartphone-based digital phenotyping and mental health data and linking it to genetic data from an existing cohort of adults with a history of depression (ie, th
