Anxiety & Stress

Latent profiles of generative artificial intelligence use among Chinese college students: Associations with depression and anxiety.

BACKGROUND: While generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) has been rapidly adopted by college students, its relationship with mental health remains unclear. Most studies treat AI users as homogeneous, overlooking heterogeneity in GenAI use. This study identified latent profiles of GenAI use among Chinese college students and examined their associations with depression and anxiety. METHODS: A cr...

Integrated machine-learning-assisted wearable platform for stress state assessment based on sweat cortisol and multimodal physiological biosensing.

External stimuli can induce stress-related physiological states characterized by rapid autonomic and cardiovascular fluctuations and slower endocrine-related biochemical responses. To address this challenge, we developed an integrated wearable biosensor platform coupled with machine-learning-assisted interpretation for rest versus stress assessment, with labels defined by baseline and task phases....
