Abstract
Over the past few decades, the number of adolescents with mental illnesses has grown at an alarming rate [1]. What if there was a way to help track and diagnose psychiatric disorders with the very thing that most adolescents could not go a day without: their phones? Digital health monitoring is no new concept in our daily lives; many people use Apple Watches to keep track of their physical and cardiac activity [2]. Digital phenotyping, even more discreetly than other methods of digital health monitoring, can track your behavior, from how many texts you send to what you are commenting on Instagram. Although fraught with potential ethical implications, digital phenotyping is making it possible to learn about and continuously monitor behavior associated with certain mental illnesses, allowing our smartphones to become an invaluable tool in psychiatry.
