Keystroke dynamics can be used in several ways within epidemiology:
Monitoring Mental Health: Changes in typing patterns can indicate mental health conditions such as stress, anxiety, or depression. Continuous monitoring can help in early detection and intervention. Tracking Neurological Disorders: Conditions such as Parkinson’s disease or multiple sclerosis can affect motor skills, which may be reflected in keystroke dynamics. Assessing Workload and Fatigue: Keystroke data can be used to assess workload and fatigue among healthcare workers, which is crucial for maintaining workforce efficiency and well-being.
