Huge thanks to my amazing co-authors: @prof-nick-allen.bsky.social, John Torous, MD MBI, Ari Winbush, Steven Siddals, Matthew Flathers! Grateful for the opportunity to lead this project as part of my Adjunct Faculty position at Harvard Medical School and BIDMC.

Earlier this year, I published a cool paper with @prof-nick-allen.bsky.social, @milyby.bsky.social, and Sean Devine on facial expressions in selfie videos in the Journal of Trial and Error >>

Wanted to share news of the publication of this research paper with @auerbachlab.bsky.social and others. Using the EARS mobile sensing platform, we found that being homebound more than usual was associated with increased risk for suicidal behaviors in high-risk adolescents.

We are investing a lot in increasing access to mental health services (and rightly so), but if we dont also focus on quality then it may not make a difference. My piece in Statnews.com outlines why this is a fundamental problem and how technology can help fix it. www.statnews.com/2025/01/13/m...
