About

James H. MacCabe is a leading researcher in psychiatric epidemiology and digital mental health, with a particular focus on psychosis, schizophrenia, and relapse prevention. His most notable contribution is the development of "SleepSight" (2016, 20 citations), a pioneering digital phenotyping system that uses wearable devices and smartphones to detect early signs of psychotic relapse through longitudinal monitoring of accelerometry, heart rate, ambient light, and phone usage patterns. This innovative approach enables targeted, timely interventions to prevent full relapse episodes. MacCabe’s work bridges clinical psychiatry and data science, demonstrating how passive sensing can transform the management of severe mental illness. His research has been instrumental in advancing personalized, technology-driven care for individuals with psychosis, offering a scalable alternative to traditional monitoring methods. With a career dedicated to understanding the mechanisms and trajectories of psychotic disorders, MacCabe continues to shape the field of digital psychiatry, influencing both clinical practice and future research directions.
