PSYCHE project is focusing on mental diseases management, in particular it is targeting bipolar patients. The project will use a novel approach based on the paradigm that a 24 hours monitoring in a natural setting, through a naturalistic approach will provide parameters, indexes and trends; that will be used to assess mood status, to support patients, to predict and anticipate treatment response at its earlier phases, to prevent relapse and to alert physicians in case of critical events.
Main scientific objectives are:
- Improve disease management for bipolar patients
- Develop a Mood Status Assessment for patients in a natural environment
- Predict Treatment Response and Prevent Relapse
- Develop a closed-loop interaction for patients and medical professionals
Main technological objectives are:
- Enable Naturalistic Physiological and Behavioral Parameters Sensing
- Develop of Bipolar Patients Personalised Monitoring Platform
- Data Management for the Assessment of Psycho-physiological Patient Status
- Decision support system for patient management
- Improve patient and physician interaction
The goal of PSYCHE is to provide a system that aims at empowering bipolar patients to take control of their own health status, providing educational content and providing a continuous assessment of the patient’s mood both for patients and health professionals, and promoting the communication between patients, their peers and health professionals.
