Wearable Data Undermines Weekly Mood Labels
A letter by Priyanka Renita D'Souza et al., published March 12, 2026 in JMIR Medical Informatics, critiques Wu et al.'s study using wearable data and machine learning to predict mood symptoms in bipolar disorder. The authors argue weekly backfilled mood labels risk recall bias and misalign with daily physiological signals, and they recommend ecological momentary assessment and daily stress measures to improve model validity and clinical reliability.
