    A systematic review included 47 studies, primarily from high-income countries, focusing on conditions like schizophrenia and major depressive disorder.

    There is significant heterogeneity in the methodologies of DP studies, including device selection, data collection, and analytical strategies.

    Methodological inconsistencies and limited reporting hinder the reproducibility and clinical application of digital phenotyping.
