Monitoring Mental Health Using Smart Devices with Text Analytical Tool

Abstract

The emerging of information technology integrated with healthy human lifestyle has been contributing to improving the overall quality of life. Smart devices have facilitated the digital transformation in different domains, primarily, in the health sector for the fields of management, diagnosis, and treatments. The aim of maintaining mental health is to improve human productivity and social functionality. This paper intends to study the benefits of using an intelligent application that uses a text analytical tool to support mental health. It uses innovative sensors and different technologies that are built-in smart devices. It detects anxiety and depression using the camera sensors, and by performing self-testing scales. It is a user-friendly platform providing simple bits of advice, animated breath exercises, and online text-based therapy with registered psychologists supported by the text analytical tool. We tested different machine learning classifications, and the SVM selected showed the best performance with a score of 79.81% in the text analytical tool.
