Abstract
Detecting depression may include generating, using a sensor, sensor data for a user and automatically detecting, using a processor, a marker for depression in the sensor data. Responsive to determining, using the processor, that a condition is satisfied based upon the marker for depression, a survey is presented using a device.
Claims20
A method of detecting depression, comprising:
- generating sensor data for a user;
- automatically detecting a marker for depression from the sensor data;
- and
- responsive to determining, using the processor, that a condition is satisfied based upon the marker for depression, presenting a survey using a device.
An apparatus for detecting depression, comprising:
- a sensor configured to generate sensor data;
- a memory configured to store the sensor data;
- and
- a processor, coupled to the memory and the sensor, and configured to:
- automatically detect a marker for depression from the sensor data;
- and
- in response to determining that a condition is satisfied based upon the marker for depression, present a survey using a device.
A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program code stored thereon, the program code executable by a processor to perform operations for detecting depression comprising:
- generating sensor data for a user;
- automatically detecting a marker for depression from the sensor data;
- and
- responsive to determining that a condition is satisfied based upon the marker for depression, presenting a survey using a device.
