ADMIRED

Abstract

The ADMIRED project aims to develop a full system capable of providing constant monitoring of Bipolar Disorder patients' relevant psychological and physiological conditions (such as mood, heart rate, motion, and sleep patterns), that together with a prediction-based system, creates a unique user profile to foresee patient relapses (both depressive and manic episodes). By doing so, the ADMIRED system will ensure that users, caregivers, and medical staff are warned in advance, enabling them to act accordingly to avoid a relapse which usually ends with patient hospitalization. With fewer relapses and hospitalizations, ADMIRED will improve patient and family life quality, as well as reduce the direct and indirect costs of the disease.
