Mood instability in bipolar disorder type I versus type II-continuous daily electronic self-monitoring of illness activity using smartphones.

BACKGROUND: A substantial proportion of patients with bipolar disorder remain symptomatic during inter-episode periods, and mood instability is associated with high risk of relapse and hospitalization. Few studies have investigated long-term daily illness activity and none has compared bipolar type I and II using daily data. The objectives were to investigate differences in daily illness activity between bipolar disorder type I and II. METHODS: A smartphone-based system for self-monitoring was developed. A total of 33 patients treated in a mood clinic used the system for daily self-monitoring…

Efficacy of a video-viewing intervention of smartphone-based positive word stimulation on depressive symptoms in individuals with subthreshold depression: Protocol for a randomized controlled trial.

BACKGROUND: Interventions targeting subthreshold depression (StD) are critically important for preventing major depressive disorder's onset. Our smartphone-based, video-viewing website (SPSRS), which presents positive word stimulation in videos, is a novel intervention for improving StD's depressive symptoms. Because no rigorous evidence exists for SPSRS's efficacy, this trial aims to evaluate the SPSRS intervention's efficacy on depressive symptoms. METHODS: The trial will be an evaluator-blinded, randomized, 5-week, parallel-group superiority trial designed to assess whether the SPSRS inter…

Smartphone-based safety planning and self-monitoring for suicidal patients: Rationale and study protocol of the CASPAR (Continuous Assessment for Suicide Prevention And Research) study.

BACKGROUND: It remains difficult to predict and prevent suicidal behaviour, despite growing understanding of the aetiology of suicidality. Clinical guidelines recommend that health care professionals develop a safety plan in collaboration with their high-risk patients, to lower the imminent risk of suicidal behaviour. Mobile health applications provide new opportunities for safety planning, and enable daily self-monitoring of suicide-related symptoms that may enhance safety planning. This paper presents the rationale and protocol of the Continuous Assessment for Suicide Prevention And Research

Laboratory Evaluation of a Smartphone-Based Electronic Reader of Rapid Dual Point-of-Care Tests for Antibodies to Human Immunodeficiency Virus and Treponema pallidum Infections.

BACKGROUND: Dual point-of-care tests for antibodies to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and Treponema pallidum allow for same-day testing and treatment and have been demonstrated to be cost-effective in preventing the adverse outcomes of HIV infection and syphilis. By recording and transmitting data as they are collected, electronic readers address challenges related to the decentralization of point-of-care testing.
