Digital phenotyping refers to near real-time data collection from personal digital devices, particularly smartphones, to better quantify the human phenotype. Currently, the field of digital phenotyping over-emphasizes passive data collection via smartphones only, which limits its applications mainly to adults or adolescents who use smartphones. However, with other evolving technologies, such as wearable devices, that have similar or better capability to provide passive physiologic data of clinical relevance, digital phenotyping applications have the potential to expand and include certain patient populations who may uniquely benefit from digital phenotyping. In this perspective, we argue for expanding digital phenotyping beyond smartphones and provide examples of currently excluded technologies and populations for whom digital phenotyping will provide significant value.
