Speaking of patterns, @thisisUIC's @alexfeuillet a recent paper reported that people with lower cognitive performance have less healthy smartphone usage. It supports the idea that this type of data can be used to create an "early warning system" for the #brain. #neurotech

I'm so goddamn proud to know the @BiAffect team and get to share the amazing work they do in this article! Based on the University of Illinois at Chicago, they have created a custom keyboard that analyzes typing pattern to track mental health. Truly amazing!
KeyboardKit@keyboardkitsdk15 Aug 2024
A new keyboard Case Study is up! 💡 BiAffect is an app that tracks mental health by analyzing typing patterns, like a "Fitbit for the brain." It monitors keystroke dynamics, typing speed, etc. to provide insights into mood & cognitive states. Read more at keyboardkit.com/blog/2024/08…

Always wondered how biology adapts to time zone changes, now with the latest @BiAffect release our users can keep track of dirunal patterns over the last month at a glance, all properly coded wrt the right time zone. Here my own data traveling to Taiwan GMT+8 and back to central!

Our new paper shows daily changes in depressive symptoms mediates perimenstrual exacerbation of suicidal ideation. What an honor to co-lead such meaningful work with @DrJaclynRoss. Thanks to @eisenlohr_moul and our incredible participants. ❤️🧠The menstrual cycle matters!
Journals of The American Psychiatric Association
@APAPubJournals14 Dec 2023
Research from @psychiatryUIC looked to the menstrual cycle to predict acute changes in suicide risk and found daily changes in depression, hopelessness, & other symptoms uniquely predict day-to-day increases in suicidal ideation and planning – and these symptoms peak around menses in many patients @jordancbarone @eisenlohr_moul @katjaschmalen @hafsahtauseef @anisha__nagpalhttps://bit.ly/481LZbV
