Digital Phenotyping for Psychosocial Screening in Adolescents and Young Adults With Cancer

This study is exploring how digital tools can help identify and support young people with cancer who might be struggling with their mental health. You would wear a wrist-based wearable device for 10 days to track things like your heart rate, steps, and sleep. You would also use a smartphone app called My Personal Health Dashboard (MyPHD) for 10 days to report on your sleep, mood, stress, and eating habits. The study aims to see if these digital tools can help identify changes in depressive symptoms, measured by the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), at the start, after 10 days, and again after 2 months. The study is looking for about 25 participants between 10 and 25 years old who were diagnosed with cancer between 2 and 18 months ago.
