Feasibility of Passive Self-tracking of Mental Health	58 Participants

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 9 months

Use mobile sensor and phone utilization data to develop individualized estimates of sociability. There was an effort to calculate an estimate of sociability for each participant. Some participants had insufficient data collected to calculate an estimate. The intent is to determine the number of participants for whom this outcome can be estimated. The investigators report here on the number of participants for whom an estimate of sociability could be successfully calculated.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 9 months

Study the predictive value of using data on sociability, activities, and sleep to identify exacerbations of psychiatric symptoms. There was an effort to calculate identify exacerbations of psychiatric symptoms for each participant. Some participants had insufficient data collected to identify exacerbations. The intent is to determine the number of participants for whom this outcome can be estimated. The investigators report here on the number of participants for whom exacerbations of psychiatric symptoms could be successfully calculated.
