Digital phenotyping for assessment and prediction of interoception, chronic stress, and self-regulation in adults: a scoping review
This review highlights that the field is still in its early stages, with most work focused on chronic stress and predominantly reliant on wearable devices. Integration of smartphone sensing and long-term monitoring remains limited, and analytical performance is modest. Nevertheless, the ubiquity of smartphones and wearables positions digital phenotyping as a promising, scalable approach for assessing brain and mental health in daily life. Future research should emphasize multimodal, longer-term data collection, innovative analytic methods, and transparent reporting.
