“Opportunities and Challenges in Using Digital Sensors for Mental Health and Wellbeing Research”
Smartphones and wearables offer unprecedented opportunities to capture real-world human behavior through passive sensing. Join us as Subigya Nepal (Assistant Professor, Computer Science) will discuss what sensor technologies can reliably measure and the significant challenges researchers face when deploying them.
Drawing from longitudinal studies with college students, clinical populations, and workplace cohorts, this session examines critical issues including data quality, participant burden, privacy concerns, and translating behavioral patterns into actionable mental health insights.
Open to faculty, students and staff. Lunch is provided, kindly register in advance.
