Check out our new paper with Alex Leow using BiAffect keyboard strokes to predict day-to-day changes in anhedonia and irritability in patients with past-month suicidal ideation! nature.com/articles/s4174…

☺️

Smartphone typing dynamics and accelerometery was predictive of motivation levels & the ability to feel pleasure in suicidal ideation for people assigned female sex at birth in this study from Loran Knol et al. #mentalhealth nature.com/articles/s4174…

Thank you npj Digital Medicine 🥹🥹 as usual the credit equally goes to each and everyone of our amazing citizen scientists who ever so graciously provided their keyboard data for #science

Wow!! BiAffect ⁦The CoNeCT Lab⁩ member Mindy Ross now officially victorious Dr. Ross🥹🥹 after her PhD defense! A very strong defense indeed😱

Look forward to hosting Gregg UIC Psychiatry grand rounds in two weeks! Open to all #Chicago area mental health professionals, trainees, and community partners! University of Illinois College of Medicine. So excited for Gregg to meet other members of our research lab BiAffect The CoNeCT Lab

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

😱😱😱😱

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

😱😱!! That is us 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😊😊 medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

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☺️☺️

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 🥳🥳

I look forward to participating in this #neurotechnology workshop & many thanks IEEE Brain for including The CoNeCT Lab BiAffect as part of the plenary program! So excited😃😃!!

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!

Speaking of patterns, University of Illinois Chicago's Alex Leow 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

Wow!!! So happy to be part of UIC Psychiatry!! UIC Engineering

It was me!! BiAffect the entire community thank IEEE Brain for having us!

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 JMIR Publications using BiAffect keyboard w/ Alex Leow Olu Ajilore, MD, PhD - @pshrink.bsky.social UIC Psychiatry!
