Researchers have developed a new method using machine learning to screen for depression by analyzing behavioral data. They created a 'Circadian Rhythm Score' (CRS) to represent daily behaviors holistically, which proved nearly as effective as raw data for prediction. The framework, utilizing gradient-boosted trees and SHAP analysis, offers interpretability and identifies nonlinear associations between circadian rhythms and depression risk. Experiments on a large dataset showed the CRS achieved an ROC-AUC of 0.825 and suggested actionable thresholds for exercise and napping to mitigate depression risk. AI
