Just launched an API to detect user mental health passively

You can't determine someone's spiritual state through a mobile phone. Also, if my kids are any indication, the removal of mobile devices and computers from their lives has greatly increased their focus, maturity, happiness, and discipline. Just a couple of days ago my boys were outside building a fort out of fallen logs that they carried a half a mile themselves, instead of inside raging at other Fortnite gamers.

The answer is not to encourage more use of mobile phones to analyze problems caused by mobile phones.

It'd be very hard to determine ones spiritual state, with or without a phone I agree, I also agree with your sentiment about devices having a negative impact when used in negatively habitual ways, those are things I cannot solve.

Sahha isn't about phone usage though (however one of the 84 ML features is a proxy for such things), Sahha uses the device mostly as a way to capture some behavioral data points (hence the passive element of it).

I hope that helps your understanding!
