Abstract

Significant advances in the fields of engineering and computer science have facilitated the examination of digital biomarkers that may characterize major depressive disorder (MDD). The Empatica E4 is a wristband sensor that measures physiological features including blood volume pulse (BVP) and electrodermal activity (EDA). The E4 has been used in several research studies to assess physiological features. While preliminary data from a previous study suggest that the E4 may be helpful to assess physiological depressive symptom severity passively, the feasibility of its dissemination is unclear. The present study examined the feasibility and acceptability of using the E4 among individuals with MDD.
