Currently there are still inconsistencies due to
- Sensor data doesn't match across studies
- Different sensors are used
- Time frames used to calculate associations differ across studies
- Different study methods and analyses.
"However, there are numerous inconsistencies regarding the predictive value of specific metrics and measures for classifying individual disorders or symptom states, in- cluding geolocation, accelerometry, ambient speech, and ambulatory psychophysiology (113–116). For example, clinical data on sleep did not match sensor report in one study (94), and results are not comparable across studies because of differences in sensors utilized, in the clinical targets, in time frames for calculating associations across assessment modalities (e.g., daily or monthly), and in the populations studied. There are also fundamental differ- ences across studies in methods and analyses, such as controlling for multiple comparisons when examining correlational data."
