Massachusetts General Hospital is examining the link between depression and various biomarkers through a study involving Galaxy Watch data.

This research will help develop a mental health index, allowing individuals to gain insights into their mental state and take proactive steps.

MIT Media Lab is also investigating the relationship between sleep patterns and overall well-being.

A study with college students revealed that both sleep duration and consistency significantly affect self-reported well-being, highlighting the potential for personalized assessments based on sleep data.

Brigham & Women’s Hospital is exploring how resilience, defined as the ability to recover from stressors, correlates with biomarkers. Using the Galaxy Watch, researchers are monitoring patients during aortic valve replacement surgery to uncover insights into recovery processes.

While, Tulane University School of Medicine is focused on identifying cardiovascular disease risk factors by analyzing data from diverse participants over three years.

This study aims to develop algorithms for predicting and preventing cardiovascular issues based on mental health metrics.
