严重精神疾病是最紧迫的公共医疗保健问题之一。对社会和身体功能的持续和不显眼的感知具有巨大的潜力，可以作为一个早期预警系统来检测心理健康的变化，在患者需要的时候和地方为他们提供环境感知的微干预，并显着加速患者对他们疾病的了解，从而支持终身健康管理。我们已经从我们以前和正在进行的工作中提出了一系列技术，以建议技术人员如何在这一领域取得重大进展。虽然我们仍在制定和评估这些解决方案，但我们领域的其他研究人员有机会通过在尖端传感和患者需求之间取得平衡来帮助减轻SMI的负担。这可以通过帮助患者进行自己的治疗来增强患者的能力，并最终导致更有效，更低成本的治疗。
Serious mental illnesses are among the most pressing public healthcare concerns. Continuous and unobtrusive sensing of social and physical functioning has tremendous potential to support lifelong health management by acting as an early warning system to detect changes in mental well-being, delivering context-aware micro-interventions to patients when and where they need them and significantly accelerating patients' understanding of their illness. We have presented a range of techniques from our previous and ongoing work to suggest how technologists can make significant advances in this area. While we are still shaping and evaluating these solutions, there is an opportunity for other researchers in our field to help ease the burden of SMIs by striking a balance between cutting-edge sensing and patient needs. This could empower patients by giving them a hand in their own treatment and ultimately lead to more effective, lower-cost treatment.
