Thanks. For those that trust their ability to assess their own depression, it offers minimal value. Sounds like you're profoundly in that camp. That said, many don't trust their ability to assess their own depression. They may trust their therapists more but have to pay to get access to them and my expectation is that this will be more accurate then them regardless. And, if the system is set up to be a passive instrument, it would allow you to monitor evolution of your mental health condition over time. For many people in the course of a treatment, this data could be useful. Simple description of value to individual: "Simple, digital, free, objective ability to obtain a depression score that doesn't rely on your own subjective self-assessment." And I agree whole-heartedly that there are a ton of ethical questions around many forms of medical treatment and conflicts-of-interest. The ones that personally scare me the most are those that rely on subjective data.
