abstract = {Why is psychiatry unable to define clinically useful
biomarkers? We explore this question from the vantage of
data and decision science and consider biomarkers as a form
of phenotypic data that resolves a well-defined clinical
decision. We introduce a framework that systematizes
different forms of phenotypic data and further introduce the
concept of decision model to describe the strategies a
clinician uses to seek out, combine, and act on clinical
data. Though many medical specialties rely on quantitative
clinical data and operationalized decision models, we
observe that, in psychiatry, clinical data are gathered and
used in idiosyncratic decision models that exist solely in
the clinician's mind and therefore are outside empirical
evaluation. This, we argue, is a fundamental reason why
psychiatry is unable to define clinically useful biomarkers:
because psychiatry does not currently quantify clinical
data, decision models cannot be operationalized and, in the
absence of an operationalized decision model, it is
impossible to define how a biomarker might be of use. Here,
psychiatry might benefit from digital technologies that have
recently emerged specifically to quantify clinically
relevant facets of human behavior. We propose that digital
tools might help psychiatry in two ways: first, by
quantifying data already present in the standard clinical
interaction and by allowing decision models to be
operationalized and evaluated; second, by testing whether
new forms of data might have value within an operationalized
decision model. We reference successes from other medical
specialties to illustrate how quantitative data and
operationalized decision models improve patient care.},
