• Resumen

  • A new algorithm can predict depression from photos people post on Instagram and may in future prompt a visit to the doctor. Andrew Reece at Harvard University and Chris Danforth at the University of Vermont in Burlington surveyed the mental health of 165 people, then set an algorithm to comb through 43,950 photos posted by them on social media, looking for features correlating with depression.
