Summary
Lucas and Luna explore how machine learning models are being trained on passive smartphone data — typing speed, sleep patterns, social media activity — to predict mental health crises days in advance. They walk through a specific study from Cambridge Health Alliance that achieved 72-hour warning accuracy of 87 percent, and discuss the ethical tightrope between intervention and surveillance. The episode also touches on the startup Mindstrong Health and the FDA's evolving stance on AI-driven psychiatry tools. A grounded, non-sensational look at what the data actually shows and what it doesn't. #AI #MentalHealth #DigitalHealth #Healthtech #MachineLearning #PredictiveAnalytics #SmartphoneData #Psychiatry #CambridgeHealthAlliance #MindstrongHealth #FDA #Ethics #Privacy #PassiveMonitoring #CrisisPrevention #Business #Technology #FexingoBusiness Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
