💊 Emotions, depression and algorithms

✈ Korean scientists ( further proof that Asia is now leading the way in IoT ) launched a machine learning algorithm that predicts mood swings using data from smartphones and smartwatches. Yes, yes, your watch will be able to know when you want to cry into your pillow or dance on the table ( or under the table depending on the situation ). And this is not a joke, but reality. The system analyzes sleep and circadian rhythms to predict manic or depressive episodes in people with the disorder. I'll add a little context ❤

⏰ Circadian rhythms are the body's internal clock. Failure in them = emotional rollercoaster. The algorithm, like a watchmaker, notices breakdowns in advance and whispers: “Hey, you better not drink your fifth coffee today and go to bed before midnight, otherwise you’ll be sad tomorrow.”

🕗 Scientists are confident that this is a step towards digital therapy, where the gadget becomes a personal consultant. Imagine that a notification appears on your smart watch:

“Attention! An emotional storm is possible tomorrow. I recommend meditation, chocolate and a comedy series"

I think it's very cool. Essentially, according to the digital transformation matrix, any technology should ultimately achieve proactive forecasting and full automation. In this case, we can just observe it. A completely logical and extremely interesting stage in the development of IoMT ( Internet of Medical Things ) 💉

Are you ready to trust an algorithm to predict your emotions? Or are you worried that your smartphone will say: “Today you are inadequate, stay at home”? 😳
