Passive Digital Phenotyping for Longitudinal Burnout and Occupational Mental Health Surveillance: A Transformer-Based Explainable Deep Learning Approach Using Smartphone Behavioral Streams
Abstract: Occupational burnout constitutes a pervasive yet chronically under-surveilled public health threat, its insidious temporal evolution rendering episodic self-report instruments structurally inadequate for early detection. This paper introduces BurnoutSense, a passive digital phenotyping framework that continuously harvests eight heterogeneous smartphone behavioral data streams encompassing application usage ecology, communication metadata, geospatial mobility, screen interaction dynamics, inferred sleep rhythmicity, keystroke kinematics, ambient noise exposure, and battery/charging cadence to construct individualized multivariate behavioral signatures …
