Beware the trap of distinguishing "objective" measures/data in a space that almost by definition concerns itself with subjective experience. I also would question any assumption that such data is less prone to racial issues -- see for example volumes of literature on inequities in healthcare access and treatment.

It's great to be using quantitative measures, and almost a necessity, but as someone in this area who has done clinical work as well as research, I can say from personal experience EHR in mental healthcare has fumbled repeatedly with handling the complexities of behavioral information.

Good to see attention in this area though.
