Undiagnosed depression: A community diagnosis

Abstract: Many large provider networks are investing heavily in preventing disease within the communities that they serve. We explore the potential benefits and challenges associated with tackling depression at the community level using a unique dataset designed for one such provider network.

The proposed system could track individual behavioral and physiological signs and prompt the individual when necessary to seek treatment.…”
