Associations between wearables vital parameters and self-perceived mood-an ecological momentary assessment study among healthy adolescents.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The prevalence of mental illnesses among adolescents has increased over the past decade. Lifestyle factors, such as regular exercise or sleep behavior can play a significant role in the prevalence of mental health. Today, passive mobile sensing or smartwatches offer valuable insights into the relationships between device-derived vital parameters (e.g., steps, exercise, sleep, heart rate) and self-reported mental health indicators, such as mood. However, the link between vital parameters and self-reported mood in daily life among adolescents remains understudied.

Methods

A total of 53 adolescents participated in a two-week ambulatory assessment study. Participants were equipped with a wrist-worn Apple Watch and a research-grade thigh-worn accelerometer to continuou
