Validating A Smartphone-Based Biomarker Tool Lyfas in Screening Anxiety Disorders


 Lyfas is a smartphone-based biomedical application that captures the cardiovascular autonomic biomarkers (CVb), surrogating for mental health attributes. SD1/SD2 biomarker assesses the sympathovagal balance and is considered to be a potential indicator of Lyfas anxiety score (LAS). A total of 1837 males and 973 females took Lyfas (hypersensitivity-checked) and Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A) self-scoring tests. LAS has been statistically validated by Linear regressions, one-way ANOVA, t-stat, correlations (r), and Bland Altman agreement assessment with respect to HAM-A. Sensitivity, specificity, precision, accuracy, Fscore, and Youden’s index (j-stat) are computed. Results show that (i) Lyfas is not a very hypersensitive instrument (mean-variance is 0.6). (ii) It can predict HAM-A with 94.7% accuracy (R2) and is a statistically significant model (p <0.05). (iii) LAS and HAM-A are positively correlated by 97%, the t-stat value of 5.38 for the population indicates that the two instruments have a significant mean difference. (iv) Bland Altman test showcases the overall agreement of 12.95% due to different modes and scales of measurements. (v) on average, LAS is 87.78% accurate, 86.82% precise, and its’ 65.2% j-stat value proves that Lyfas is a novel industry-standard smartphone biomarker application that can be used to accurately screen anxiety disorders.
