Exploring BiAffect: A Technological Breakthrough for Bipolar Disorder Support Paris is joined by Dr. Alex Leow and her team to discuss BiAffect, a pioneering smartphone technology designed to aid those living with bipolar.

The team explains the technology's development, inspired by advancements like Apple Watch and Fitbit, and its implications for mental health management by tracking behavior patterns via smartphone keyboards.
Discussion highlights include the app's insights derived from typing speed, usage patterns, and circadian rhythms, and potential future enhancements using Apple intelligence.
