The question
How can we speed up the research process?
[The gap:]
Approach
From raw signal to causal claim, in four stages.
[The pipeline: pre-processing biometric streams, K-Means clustering on behavioral features, regression to depression outcomes, LiNGAM to test directionality.]
Method diagram
What I found
Sleep and steps — not heart rate — drive the signal.
[Key finding: sleep duration and daily step count emerged as the strongest behavioral predictors. LiNGAM revealed direct (not just correlational) paths to depression risk.]
Result chart
What I learned
Causal claims need humility, and structure.
[Reflection: where the method held up, where it didn't, and what it would take to take this from research to a real product.]
