About
Stephen M. Schueller is a prominent clinical psychologist and digital mental health researcher whose work sits at the intersection of technology, behavioral sensing, and psychological well-being. He is best known for pioneering research on passive smartphone sensing as a tool for monitoring mental health, most notably demonstrated in his highly influential 2015 exploratory study examining mobile phone sensor correlates of depressive symptom severity — a paper that has accumulated over 820 citations and helped establish a new paradigm for unobtrusive, continuous mental health monitoring. This work demonstrated that everyday behavioral patterns captured through phone sensors could meaningfully reflect fluctuations in depressive symptoms, opening doors for scalable, real-world mental health assessment. More recently, Schueller has extended his research focus to underserved populations, investigating the digital behaviors and geolocation patterns of homeless youth to better understand how technology might inform targeted mental health interventions for vulnerable communities. His career reflects a sustained commitment to democratizing mental health care through innovative technology-driven approaches. Researchers and students entering digital mental health, mHealth, or clinical psychology will find Schueller's body of work foundational to understanding how passive sensing can transform psychological assessment and intervention delivery.
