David Levitan

I am an MA student in Clinical Psychology at the Hebrew University, having completed my BA in Psychology at the Open University.

My research, under the supervision of Dr. Gal Lazarus, focuses on detecting and forecasting psychological changes through the use of digital phenotypes, specifically analyzing actigraphy data. I use wearable devices and ecological momentary assessment (EMA) methods to capture real-time data, aiming to understand how these digital phenotypes can predict psychological shifts. My work seeks to bridge the gap between technology and psychology, providing new insights into behavioral patterns and mental well-being.

A little bit about me – I’m happily married with three kids, so if you ever need tips on how to survive chaos, I’m your guy! While working with patients, keeping up with school, and juggling family life, balancing it all feels like a high-stakes game of Tetris, but somehow, it all (kinda) fits together. It’s never dull, and I wouldn’t have it any other way!
