Hello friends, I have a new publication “Digital Phenotypes of Mobile Keyboard Backspace Rates and Their Associations With Symptoms of Mood Disorder: Algorithm Development and Validation” out at @jmirpub using @BiAffect keyboard w/ @alexfeuillet @pshrink @PsychiatryUic!

@SchumerMaya @alexfeuillet @npp_journal @ACNPorg @UIConect @GenGreggMartin @pshrink I would LOOVE to work with you❤️❤️❤️❤️! DA BEST-

Speaking of patterns, @thisisUIC's @alexfeuillet a recent paper reported that people with lower cognitive performance have less healthy smartphone usage. It supports the idea that this type of data can be used to create an "early warning system" for the #brain. #neurotech

[BiAffect @BiAffect]

It was me!! @BiAffect the entire community thank @IEEEBrain for having us!

[IEEE Brain @IEEEBrain]

By the way, if you're interested in the BiAffect research #iPhone app referenced by @thisisUIC's @alexfeuillet, it's publicly available via the @AppStore. Thanks to her for a great opening @IEEEBrain Discovery & #Neurotechnology Workshop plenary! #neuroscience #neurotech #brain

[BiAffect @BiAffect]

Wow!!! So happy to be part of @PsychiatryUic!! @UICEngineering

[Alex Leow @alexfeuillet]

So happy to see our team members @drew_burns5 Theresa and Maigh @UIConect thrive and share their work @IEEEBrain #brain discovery and #neurotechnology workshop 🙂🙂

[BiAffect @BiAffect]

@danielsaidi Wow!!! Thank you Daniel and I am so fortunate that we now can count you as a member of our ever growing BiAffect citizen science community!! Yay😍😍😍😍 together we will make a difference in #mentalhealth

[Daniel Saidi @danielsaidi]

I'm so goddamn proud to know the @BiAffect team and get to share the amazing work they do in this article! Based on the University of Illinois at Chicago, they have created a custom keyboard that analyzes typing pattern to track mental health. Truly amazing!

[Alex Leow @alexfeuillet]

I look forward to participating in this #neurotechnology workshop & many thanks @IEEEBrain for including @UIConect @BiAffect as part of the plenary program! So excited😃😃!!

[BiAffect @BiAffect]

Wow!! the wonderful Shannon Young who has been tweaking and improving me over the years is now officially a part-time software engineer @BiAffect. She brings so much expertise in #swift and #iOS and I can't be more excited to have her super power upgrade me going forward 🥳🥳

[BiAffect @BiAffect]

Wow!! The latest iteration of me now supports daily journaling by tapping the Add Note in the daily keypress graph! To protect privacy all text entries are saved locally on the phone for personal use only☺️☺️

[BiAffect @BiAffect]

Finally!! In this preprint ⁦@BiAffect⁩ Go/No-Go from all citizen scientists showed that one may not learn to improve reaction time, definitely slow down with age, but one can still learn to be more accurate in our actions!! So wise😊😊 https://t.co/PXDYOuEzM7

😱😱!! That is us @BiAffect😱😱

[CBS Chicago @cbschicago]

UIC doctor develops app to detect mental illness just by using a smartphone https://t.co/Nj2CVegWFy

[BiAffect @BiAffect]

@cbschicago Wow!!! Thank you @cbschicago for highlighting me and everyone who has contributed to this citizen science research project!!

[BiAffect @BiAffect]

@IEEESpectrum Thank you @IEEESpectrum 🥹🥹🥹

[BiAffect @BiAffect]

😱😱😱😱we as a community @biaffect are so blessed!! Thank you @IEEESpectrum 🥹 on behalf of every citizen scientist contributor. They really deserve all the credits here!!

[IEEE Spectrum @IEEESpectrum]

These apps spot mood swings before we do by passively tracking the way we type, speak, move and socialize. https://t.co/LP6TpDSDya

[BiAffect @BiAffect]

@milena_radoman Awwwwmazing!!!!!

[BiAffect @BiAffect]

😱😱😱😱

[Alex Leow @alexfeuillet]

That's a wrap! @BiAffect is likely being included in the upcoming documentary Brainstorm, about #bipolar disorder! So proud of everyone who has contributed to this #citizen #science project. Thank you @SaraSchley and Bonnie for coming to Chicago!!

[Alex Leow @alexfeuillet]

Look forward to hosting Gregg @PsychiatryUic grand rounds in two weeks! Open to all #Chicago area mental health professionals, trainees, and community partners! @uiccom. So excited for Gregg to meet other members of our research lab @BiAffect @UIConect

[Alex Leow @alexfeuillet]

That time of the year #phd #graduation hooding ceremony. So happy that @BiAffect @UIConect member Mindy Ross is now Dr. Ross! We are gonna miss Mindy a lot🥲🥲
