ABSTRACT

Digital health technology is promising for improving mental healthcare by enabling continuous monitoring of behaviour by smartphones and wearables, new paradigms for testing in virtual reality, and analysis of big data through machine learning for prediction models. This might advance prevention efforts and contribute to diagnostics and treatment. This presentation will show examples from studies using digital markers collected primarily from smartphones in patients with bipolar disorder.
