  • Smartwatches that can collect physical and physiological data on users could be potentially interesting tools in biomedicine to gain a better understanding of brain diseases and behavioral disorders and possible driver mutations related to these pathologies.

The article from MSN discusses a study published in the journal Nature Mental Health, which explores how data from smartwatches can provide insights into psychiatric disorders. Researchers from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai analyzed data from the UK Biobank, focusing on how wearable devices like smartwatches can track physical activity, sleep patterns, and heart rate variability. The study found that these metrics could help in understanding the biological underpinnings of psychiatric conditions such as depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder. Notably, the research highlighted genetic links between these disorders and physical activity levels, suggesting that smartwatch data could serve as a non-invasive tool for monitoring mental health, potentially aiding in early diagnosis and personalized treatment plans. This approach could revolutionize how psychiatric care is delivered by integrating continuous, real-time data into clinical assessments.
