Dr. Nick Jacobson directs the AI and Mental Health: Innovation in Technology Guided
Healthcare (AIM HIGH) Laboratory at Dartmouth College. His research focuses on (1)
enhancing precision assessment of anxiety and depression using intensive longitudinal
data, (2) conducting multimethod assessment utilizing passive sensor data from smartphones
and wearable devices, and (3) providing scalable, personalized technology-based treatments
utilizing smartphones. To date, Dr. Jacobson’s smartphone applications which assess
and treat anxiety and depression have been downloaded and installed by more than 50,000
people in over 100 countries. Dr. Jacobson is Principal Investigator of an NIMH-funded
R01 studying the use of personalized deep learning models to predict rapid changes
in major depressive disorder symptoms using passive sensor data from smartphones and
wearable devices. His talk will focus on the use of technology to assess and treat
anxiety and depression at scale.
