Medical research is investigating passive data collection in humans for monitoring mental illness, with pilot studies completed for bipolar disorder (Faurholt-Jepsen et al. 2016; Gruenerbl et al. 2014; Karam et al. 2014), schizophrenia (Ben-Zeev et al. 2016; Wang et al. 2016), and depression (Saeb et al. 2015).
