Apple reportedly working on technology to let iPhones detect depression, cognitive decline

Apple iPhone: Apple has always tried to up its game when it comes to iPhones, and in tune with that, it seems like Cupertino is now working on making tools and developing AI software that would be able to track the mental health of the user. Mental health is an issue that has started getting the attention it deserves only recently, as a result of which, several people are not even aware that they are suffering from mental health issues. Hence, this step, if indeed true and properly implemented, can be really helpful in tackling mental health problems. As per a report in Wall Street Journal, Cupertino believes that its iPhone’s hardware capabilities coupled with data on sleep records, physical activities and other health aspects can help it in ascertaining if a user is suffering from depression, anxiety and cognitive decline.
