| Abstract: | Worldwide, there is a substantial growth in smartphone usage. This causes the technology around exploring the utilization of smartphones and other smart devices for monitoring the health and well-being of individuals to rapidly develop. This is called digital phenotyping, which is defined as ‘Moment-by-moment quantification of the individual level human phenotype in situ using data from personal digital devices, in particular smartphones’. Digital phenotyping involves collecting and analysing data from smartphone sensors to identify low-level features, which can be linked to behavioural patterns and eventually to clinical states. To use smartphones for digital phenotyping, the Beiwe platform was developed by the Onella lab at Harvard. This study investigates how to set up a study about digital phenotyping through the Beiwe app to eventually use it for monitoring health and wellbeing over time. The research initially aimed to collect both passive and active data over a one-month period, provided by one participant. The Beiwe app's data collection capabilities, and setting considerations were evaluated. This includes the following data streams: GPS, accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer, power state, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, call logs, text logs, proximity, device motion, and reachability. Besides, the low-level features, which can be extracted from the data streams, are provided. Additionally, an example for active data collection in the form of a questionnaire is provided, which serves to provide context to the passive data. Also a strategy to compare this with the passive data is provided and analysis on the passive data is performed to come towards low-level features and high-level behaviour. So, this study provides insights into setting up digital phenotyping research and offers recommendations for setting changes and analysis. |
