Apple wants to know whether its devices could help detect depression early, according to a report from The Wall Street Journal.

It is working with scientists to study if data its devices collect, such as sleep patterns and typing behavior, maps onto certain mental-health conditions or cognitive decline, The Journal reported, citing internal Apple documents and interviews with unnamed people familiar with the matter.

The hope is that if data gathered from Apple devices, such as the iPhone, correlates with a health condition, Apple could develop an app or feature that could warn people that they are at risk so they can seek care, The Journal reported, citing the documents and sources.

 

The research is part of Apple's partnerships with US biotech Biogen and the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), which were announced earlier this year, The Journal reported. Apple's research with Biogen is focused on cognitive decline and its research with UCLA is focused on stress, anxiety, and depression.
