Smartphones are surprisingly good at diagnosing depression

You could say that your smartphone knows you better than yourself and, according to some new medical research, that wouldn’t actually be too far from the truth. More specifically, the research suggests that your smartphone could be a better judge of whether or not you’re suffering from depression than an actual self-assessment. One of the biggest things preventing people with depression from getting help is that it can be difficult to actually tell that you’re depressed, and with a whopping 87% accuracy rate when detecting depression, your smartphone could seriously help you.
