The Surprising Link Between GPS Data and Mood

Did you know your phone could be used to track and predict your mood? New research from Po-Hsiu Kuo and their team at National Taiwan University shows a link between GPS data and mood changes in people with mood disorders. By analyzing location data and daily mood reports, they found that staying at home was linked to increased fatigue, depression, and irritability, while decreased movement predicted a worse mood the next day. This groundbreaking research could revolutionize mental health monitoring and lead to personalized interventions that get you moving and improve your well-being!
