Wearable devices have increasingly incorporated sensors that were previously reserved for hospital settings. The availability of wearable device features that address anxiety and depression is still in its infancy, but consumers will soon have the potential to self-monitor moods and behaviors using everyday commercially-available devices.<h4>Objective</h4>This study aims to explore the features of wearable devices that can be used for monitoring anxiety and depression.<h4>Methods</h4>Six bibliographic databases, including MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycINFO, IEEE Computer methods and programs in biomedicine update100095https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC9884643biostudies-literatureWearable devices for anxiety & depression: A scoping review.PMC9884643Alzubaidi MAbu Serhan HSolaiman BHouseh MAhmed AAbd-Alrazaq AAAziz SSchneider JIrshaidat SfalseWearable devices for anxiety & depression: A scoping review.<h4>Background</h4>The rates of mental health disorders such as anxiety and depression are at an all-time high especially since the onset of COVID-19, and the need for readily available digital health care solutions has never been greater.
