NCT ID: NCT07220343Sponsor: Stanford UniversityLast updated: 2025-12-30

Summary

The overall goal of the proposed study is to use digital phenotyping to identify and triage at-risk patients and accelerate access to critical mental health services.

Arms & interventions

  • DeviceDevice

    Participants will wear a wrist-based wearable device for 10 days to passively track physiological data (heart rate, steps, sleep, etc.).

  • BehavioralEcological Momentary Assessment (EMA) via My Personal Health Dashboard (MyPHD) Smartphone App

    Participants will respond to ecological momentary assessments (EMA) via smartphone to actively report on sleep, mood, stress, and eating habits across a 10-day period.

Outcome measures

Primary

  • Change in Depressive Symptoms (Beck Depression Inventory - BDI)

    The Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II; range 0-63) will be used to measure changes in depressive symptoms among adolescents and young adults over time. Higher scores indicate greater depressive symptom severity.

    Time frame: Baseline, Day 10, 2 months

Secondary

  • Participant Retention Rate (MyPHD App and Wearable Device)

    Time frame: Baseline to 2 months

  • Adherence to EMA Prompts

    Time frame: Baseline to 2 months

  • Wearable Device Return and Use Rate

    Time frame: Baseline to 2 months

  • Change in Anxiety Symptoms (Beck Anxiety Inventory - BAI)

    Time frame: Baseline, Day 10, 2 months

  • Change in PTSD Symptoms (CROPS)

    Time frame: Baseline

  • Change in PTSD Symptoms (PCL-5)

    Time frame: Baseline

  • Change in Sleep Quality (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index - PSQI)

    Time frame: Baseline, Day 10
