Geolocation Patterns, Wi-Fi Connectivity Rates, and Psychiatric Symptoms Among Urban Homeless Youth: Mixed Methods Study Using Self-report and Smartphone Data

Geolocation Patterns, Wi-Fi Connectivity Rates, and Psychiatric Symptoms Among Urban Homeless Youth: Mixed Methods Study Using Self-report and Smartphone Data

Further, geolocation data collected by mobile devices can indicate the level of variance in an individual’s movement, referred to as entropy [17]. Entropy and broader indicators of movement collected via mobile devices have been found to correlate with or predict depressive mood states in housed populations [18-20]. In this literature, individuals’ homes were believed to be one of the key locations for the correlations found.

Tracking Changes in Mobility Before and After the First SARS-CoV-2 Vaccination Using Global Positioning System Data in England and Wales (Virus Watch): Prospective Observational Community Cohort Study

Tracking Changes in Mobility Before and After the First SARS-CoV-2 Vaccination Using Global Positioning System Data in England and Wales (Virus Watch): Prospective Observational Community Cohort Study

During the consent and registration process, adult participants were invited to contribute geolocation data using the Arc GIS mobile phone tracker app. For those who chose to participate, we sent personal identifiable data from the UCL data safe haven to a secure memory stick on a UCL computer, from which we transferred the data via HTTPS into the Arc GIS Online (Esri UK) subscription. The purpose of this data transfer was to set up participants’ tracker app accounts.

Emotions and Topics Expressed on Twitter During the COVID-19 Pandemic in the United Kingdom: Comparative Geolocation and Text Mining Analysis

Emotions and Topics Expressed on Twitter During the COVID-19 Pandemic in the United Kingdom: Comparative Geolocation and Text Mining Analysis

Given the growing interest of research in understanding people’s opinions and emotions regarding the pandemic [37], the objective of this study was to use deep learning–based methods to understand public emotions on topics related to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom through a comparative geolocation and text mining analysis on Twitter.

Understanding the Predictors of Missing Location Data to Inform Smartphone Study Design: Observational Study

To determine what daily average weather conditions participants were exposed to, the app recorded participants’ geolocation, which we could link to weather reports from local weather stations. The analysis of the weather and pain association and the details of data collection are described elsewhere [2,3].

Building a Secure Biomedical Data Sharing Decentralized App (DApp): Tutorial

Data flow directly between the smart contract and the clients: (1) Participant submits timestamped geolocation data; (2) Participant grants/revokes permission to share that data, to the smart contract; (3) A third party assigns geolocations of interest a matching category (ie, hospital, gym, pharmacy, or none) and deploy that mapping to the smart contract; (4) Participant can view the timestamp of each of their previously written geolocations and the category of that geolocation, if there exists a mapping between

Privacy-Preserving Methods for Feature Engineering Using Blockchain: Review, Evaluation, and Proof of Concept

Smartphone phone usage, and geolocation data in particular, is consequential for several health care applications. Location data have already been used in a variety of applications in health, for example, to monitor behavioral and environmental risk factors [8,9], to improve disease management and treatment delivery [10], and to inform public health policy in substance abuse [11].

Group-Personalized Regression Models for Predicting Mental Health Scores From Objective Mobile Phone Data Streams: Observational Study

Group-Personalized Regression Models for Predicting Mental Health Scores From Objective Mobile Phone Data Streams: Observational Study

Among the earliest work on using geolocation for mental state estimation, Grünerbl et al [5-6] demonstrated that it is possible to use geolocation-derived features to detect episodes in patients with bipolar disorder. Saeb et al [3] further showed that features derived from geolocation data correlated with depression levels in individuals recruited over the internet; the results were later replicated with a sample of students [7].
