The purpose of this research is to add to current knowledge on the potential of leveraging smartwatch device data in the treatment of patients with Severe Mental Illnesses (SMIs), specifically focusing on schizophrenia or bipolar I or II disorder (BPD). The focus of research into the feasibility of using smartwatch device data to augment standard treatment in mental health has primarily been from the technical feasibility of device data integration and patient perspectives on using smartwatches. There is a knowledge gap on the adoptability of this technology from the perspective of the providers who treat patients with SMIs. This research aims to close that gap and provide a more complete understanding of the potential for leveraging data from smartwatch devices and the barriers to providers to use that data for the treatment of patients with SMIs.
