Article Title: Active and passive data collection using mHealth to monitor mental wellness: Pilot findings from the Texas resilience against depression study
doi: 10.1177/20552076261458952
Figure Lengend Snippet: Overview of the mHealth Application. mHealth has two main components: a mobile application that collects passive data (steps, distance travelled, GPS, Wi-Fi network connections, application usage, and phone and text logs) and active data (four mood questions sent twice daily), and a web-based administrative platform. The mHealth data is stored on secure servers in the data hall at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center (UTSW).
Article Snippet: The mHealth application, a cutting-edge mobile application built for iOS and Android, was developed using Xamarin (a free, open-source framework for building mobile apps for iOS and Android) with pages for the user to view account information, access their personalized feed, view the results from the active and passive data over the past two weeks, and links to resources for mental wellness.
