Yeah, so there's really two things that the data has to offer. And I think of it as tracking and treating. So on some level, just all of the data that we generate says a lot about our physical activity, our physical health, but also about our mental health, right? Again, we talked about GPS records that say something about whether you might be suffering from depression.

There's a lot that we can learn about your mental health from what you post on social media, right? So this is the tracking part. But then what I think is really interesting, and it's currently being developed, so I think we're really early stages, is more of the treatment part.

So can I use your footprints to not only surface, let's say, the most relevant interventions to you, the same way that Amazon recommends products and the same way that Netflix recommends movies, can actually an algorithm who knows you based on your data recommend the best treatment for you suffering from depression?

Yeah, so this is a really tragic story of a woman who got into an accident, got severely injured, lost the bakery that she was running. She was self-employed, which also meant that she couldn't afford a car anymore, couldn't really provide for her family. And you can imagine that all of this takes a pretty big toll on someone's mental health.

now with no car no money there's no way that you can either find a therapist let alone drive to a therapist for like your weekly session so what she did is she started using um an app that's called wiser which is really trying to interact with you give you advice ask questions about how you're feeling um gives these little prompts and little challenges maybe you go out to nature and maybe you try and meditate for a little bit and i think the way that she tells the story

is that it was very weird in the beginning talking to a bot about your mental health struggles, but at some point you adjust and you get used to it. And from using it once in a while, I think she started using it multiple times a day.

So in her case, I think it significantly improved her mental health. It certainly didn't fix all of the problems, right? And there's still a lot of effort that you have to put in as a human being. But it felt like there was a support system that she otherwise couldn't have afforded.
