First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a smartphone app that tracks how you type (speed, backspace use, autocorrect) can help monitor mood and thinking problems in people with mood disorders like depression or bipolar disorder. 132 adults aged 25-50 took part. The goal was to see if this simple, passive method could predict symptom changes without needing frequent clinic visits.
