Abstract The timely identification of patients who are at risk a mental health crisis can lead to improved outcomes and the mitigation burdens costs. However, high prevalence problems means that manual review complex patient records make proactive care decisions is not feasible in practice. Therefore, we developed machine learning model uses electronic continuously monitor for over period 28 days. achieves an area under receiver operating characteristic curve 0.797 precision-recall 0.159,...

Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) has a severe presentation and chronic course when untreated. Although effective BDD treatments exist, most individuals do not have access to them. We therefore developed pilot tested the first smartphone-delivered individual cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) treatment for adults with BDD.
