Abstract

The widespread usage of technology and personal devices can help track the state of well-being and mental illnesses in the general population. This chapter provides an overview of the technology used in mental health to identify symptoms with a particular focus on depression. Detection of physiological and behavioral signals such as facial expressions, vocal prosody, sleep patterns, and social behavior change that reveal symptoms of depression is discussed.
