Your phone and smartwatch may soon tell doctors if you're entering a depressive episode — and Olympian Michael Phelps is on board

Phelps' personal struggle with depression and suicidal thinking spurred him to join the board of a 23-year-old company called Medibio. The group has a bold goal: to create a tool that can detect mental illness objectively, without relying on mercurial measures like questionnaires.
