About

Amos Folarin is a leading researcher at the intersection of digital health, computational psychiatry, and wearable technology. His most impactful work centers on developing novel, data-driven methods for monitoring and predicting mental health outcomes, particularly in psychosis. Folarin’s landmark contribution, "SleepSight" (2016, 20 citations), introduced a pioneering system that leverages wireless wearables and smartphones to collect longitudinal accelerometry, heart-rate, ambient light, and phone usage data. This approach enables the early detection of relapse signs in psychosis, facilitating timely, targeted interventions for relapse prevention. By translating passive sensor data into actionable clinical insights, Folarin has advanced the field of digital phenotyping, demonstrating how everyday devices can serve as powerful tools for mental health monitoring. His work has been instrumental in bridging the gap between raw sensor streams and meaningful psychiatric biomarkers, influencing subsequent research in mobile health and personalized medicine. With a growing citation impact, Folarin continues to push the boundaries of how technology can transform psychiatric care, making him a key figure in the emerging discipline of computational psychiatry.
