Background: Loneliness has drawn increasing attention over the past few decades due to rising recognition of its close connection with serious health issues, like dementia. Yet, researchers are failing find solutions alleviate globally experienced burden loneliness. Purpose: This review aims shed light on possible reasons for why interventions have been ineffective. We suggest new directions research loneliness as it relates precision health, emerging technologies, digital phenotyping, and machine learning. Results: Current unsuccessful (i) their inconsideration a heterogeneous construct (ii) not being targeted at individuals' needs contexts. propose model how can move towards finding right solution person time. Taking approach, we explore transdisciplinary contribute creating more holistic picture shift from treatment prevention. Conclusions: urge field rethink metrics account diverse intra-individual experiences trajectories Big data sharing evolving technologies that emphasize human raise hope realizing our applied There is an urgent need precise, integrated, theory-driven focus subjective in ageing context.

The use of data generated passively by personal electronic devices, such as smartphones, to measure human function in health and disease has significant research interest. Particularly psychiatry, objective, continuous quantitation using patients' own devices may result clinically useful markers that can be used refine diagnostic processes, tailor treatment choices, improve condition monitoring for actionable outcomes, early signs relapse, develop new intervention models. If a principal goal digital phenotyping is clinical improvement, needs attend now factors will help or hinder future adoption. We identify four opportunities directed toward this goal: exploring intermediate outcomes underlying mechanisms; focusing on purposes are likely practice; anticipating quality safety barriers adoption; the potential personalized medicine arising from integration interventions. Clinical relevance also means explicitly addressing consumer needs, preferences, acceptability ultimate users There risk that, without considerations, benefits delayed not realized because approaches feasible application healthcare, evidence required support commissioning, developed. Practical steps accelerate agenda include further development technology platforms scalability equity, establishing shared repositories common standards, fostering multidisciplinary collaborations between stakeholders (including patients), computer scientists, researchers.

Psychiatry has always been characterized by a range of different models and approaches to mental disorder, which have sometimes brought progress in clinical practice, but often also accompanied critique from within without the field. Psychiatric nosology particular focus debate recent decades; successive editions DSM ICD strongly influenced both psychiatric practice research, led assertions that psychiatry is crisis, advocacy for entirely new paradigms diagnosis assessment. When thinking about etiology, many researchers currently refer biopsychosocial model, this approach received significant critique, being considered some observers overly eclectic vague. Despite development evidence-based pharmacotherapies psychotherapies, current evidence points treatment gap research-practice health. In paper, after considering we discuss proposed novel perspectives recently achieved prominence may significantly impact research future: neuroscience personalized pharmacotherapy; statistical nosology, assessment research; deinstitutionalization community health care; scale-up psychotherapy; digital phenotyping therapies; global task-sharing approaches. We consider extent transitions practices reflect hype or hope. Our review indicates each contributes important insights allow hope future, provides only partial view, any promise paradigm shift field not well grounded. conclude there crucial advances that, despite progress, considerable need further improvements intervention; such will likely be specific shifts rather incremental iterative integration.

Collecting and analyzing data from sensors embedded in the context of daily life has been widely employed for monitoring mental health. Variations parameters such as movement, sleep duration, heart rate, electrocardiogram, skin temperature, etc., are often associated with psychiatric disorders. Namely, accelerometer data, microphone, call logs can be utilized to identify voice features social activities indicative depressive symptoms, physiological factors rate conductance used detect stress anxiety Therefore, a wide range devices comprising variety have developed capture these behavioral translate them into phenotypes states related Such systems aim behaviors that consequence an underlying alteration, hence, raw sensor captured converted define markers, through machine learning. However, due complexity passive relationships not simple need well-established. Furthermore, intrapersonal interpersonal differences considered when interpreting data.

This study evaluates the feasibility and performance assessing depressive severity by using behavioral physiological features obtained from wristband smartphone sensors. Method: Participants were thirty-one individuals with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). The protocol included 8 weeks monitoring through six in-person clinical interviews during which was assessed 17-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS-17). Results: wore right left wrist 92 94% time respectively. Three machine-learning models estimating developed–one combining wearable sensors, one including only smartphones, sensors–and evaluated in two different scenarios. Correlations between models' estimate HDRS scores clinician-rated ranged moderate high (0.46 [CI: 0.42, 0.74] 0.7 0.66, 0.74]) had accuracy Mean Absolute Error ranging 3.88 ± 0.18 4.74 1.24. time-split scenario model smartphones performed best. ten most predictive mobile related phone engagement, activity level, skin conductance, heart rate variability.
