Research & Science

Foundational research

Sahha's technology is backed by cutting-edge research in digital phenotyping. We are actively involved in internal and external research projects collaborating with leading universities and research organisations. Our commitment to rigorous scientific inquiry ensures that our products are reliable and effective.

Evidence-based Approach

Guided by State-of-art Literature

We rigorously review and select findings from reputable scientific studies

Verified with Internal Studies

We conduct our own studies to verify these findings using our extensive dataset

Driven by Domain Expertise

Our team of PhDs collaborate with leading professors to ensure the highest standards of research and development

Our Flagship Research

5000+ Participants

Across a diverse range of ages (18-65), genders, and nationalities (UK, US, CA, AU, NZ, and more)

50K+ Clinical Samples

Tens of thousands of clinical assessments collected, allowing us to build foundational models

Validated by 100K+

Our models are validated in the real world by hundreds of thousands of people globally

Smartphone-based stress detection

This study explores the relationship between smartphone-derived sensor data to evaluate stress levels with the aim of providing an accessible solution for stress monitoring without relying on wearable technology. The study, involving 820 participants across multiple countries, collected behavioral data including physical activity, sleep patterns, and phone usage metrics over six months. The logistic regression model demonstrated strong predictive capability with an AUC of 0.76 and an Average Precision score of 0.78, effectively distinguishing between healthy and stressed individuals based on their behavioral patterns.

Phone activity & depression

This study explores the relationship between smartphone-derived activity patterns and depression levels. The study involved 2,864 participants and collected 26,888 PHQ-9 samples. The findings indicate that higher active hours, early morning activity, and regular physical activity are associated with lower depression levels, while nighttime activity correlates with higher depression levels. The research concludes that inferring depression levels from smartphone activity data is scientifically feasible.

Key Findings

Association of Daily Steps and DASS-21

Association of Sleep Regularity [source] and DASS-21

Association of Sleep Timing and DASS-21
