About
Shahrzad Hassanbeigi Daryani is a researcher at the intersection of digital health, mobile technology, and vulnerable populations, with a primary focus on youth experiencing homelessness. Her work pioneers the use of smartphone data—including geolocation patterns and Wi-Fi connectivity rates—to understand the daily lives, movement behaviors, and psychiatric symptoms of unhoused young people. In her landmark 2023 mixed-methods study, she demonstrated how passively collected smartphone data can reveal critical insights into digital habits and mental health needs, laying the groundwork for novel, technology-driven intervention models. With over 7 citations across her most-cited papers, Daryani’s research is gaining traction for its innovative integration of self-report and sensor-based data. Her 2021 descriptive report further established baseline knowledge about internet access points among this population, highlighting disparities in digital connectivity. By combining computational methods with deep community engagement, Daryani is shaping a new frontier in mobile health—one that leverages the very devices youth already carry to deliver scalable, real-time support for mental health and social services.
