What if your doctor asks how you’ve been sleeping—but Instagram already knows?

In this episode of Tomorrow’s Consciousness, we explore how artificial intelligence is tracking your digital life—your emojis, your late-night posts, your fitness data—to make predictions about your mental health before you ever speak a word.

From TikTok scrolls to Fitbit logs, we dive into how AI is reshaping mental health care—and the ethical lines it’s quietly crossing.
