Abstract

Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), as one of the most common chronic anxiety disorders, faces difficulties in clinical diagnosis. With the rapid development and wide application of smartphones in recent years, smartphones have a vivid application prospect in the field of mental disease monitoring and diagnosis. Based on WeChat applet platform on smartphones, an APP that integrates scale testing and inertial sensor data collection is developed to study the detection of subjects with GAD in task state. A behavior patterns extraction method is proposed using sliding windows to split behavior data, and processing data segments for clustering. Distribution information are extracted from the subjects' behavior patterns and are combined with the descriptive statistical features of the sample to identify GAD. The results show that this method has an accuracy of 66.44% for female subjects and 71.43% for male subjects in GAD recognition.
