The featured speaker will look at depression-related patterns and trends by combining patient-reported experiences with objective metrics like activity, sleep and heart rate from wearables, as well as share insights about depression and its management, including how to shape treatment priorities, enhance clinical trial design, and inform personalized care strategies. TORONTO, Oct. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- To better address the impact of depression on the well-being and quality of life, treatment approaches and clinical trials can benefit from information about the everyday experiences and challenges of individuals with depression. Equally important is understanding how these experiences change over time and with treatment. Gaining these insights relies on longitudinal data collected from a large, representative, real-world population, which can be difficult to achieve in clinical trial and care settings. A continuous, direct connection to an online community of engaged individuals willing to respond to surveys and connect their devices and apps, such as Apple Watches and Fitbits, presents opportunities to capture data longitudinally. These novel, layered datasets help accurately and comprehensively describe the real-world experiences with depression.
