This narrative review describes recent developments in the use of technology for utilizing the self-monitoring of mood, provides some relevant background, and suggests some promising directions. Subjective experience of mood is one of the valuable sources of information about the state of an integrated mind/brain system. During the past century, psychiatry and psychology moved away from subjectivity, emphasizing external observation, precise measurement, and laboratory techniques. This shift…

Electronic monitoring in bipolar disorder.

The literature presented in this dissertation illustrates that smartphone-based electronic self-monitoring of mood seems to reflect clinically assessed depressive and manic symptoms and enables the long-term characterization of mood in bipolar disorder.

Does the use of an automated tool for self-reporting mood by patients with bipolar disorder bias the collected data?

Results from studies of patients using ChronoRecord software on a home computer to report mood can be generalized, as with studies using paper-based self-reporting, as the use of a computer does not seem to bias sample data.

Mood variability: a study of four groups.

The visual analog scale can capture patterns of mood and mood variability thought to be typical of these diagnostic groups, suggesting that mechanisms regulating mood stability may differ from those regulating overall mood state.

Daily electronic monitoring of subjective and objective measures of illness activity in bipolar disorder using smartphones– the MONARCA II trial protocol: a randomized controlled single-blind parallel-group trial

If the Monsenso system for smartphones integrating subjective and objective measures of illness activity is effective in reducing depressive and/or manic symptoms and the rate of episodes, there will be basis for extending the use to the treatment of bipolar disorder in general and in larger scale.

The electronic assessment of the longitudinal course of bipolar disorder: the ChronoRecord software.

The ChronoRecord, validated software that patients can install on a home computer to report mood, medications, sleep, life events, weight and menstrual data, has been designed to achieve automation of data collection and facilitates on-going patient feedback and accurate study monitoring.

Nonlinear time-series approaches in characterizing mood stability and mood instability in bipolar disorder

This study develops a time-series approach to capture mood variability in two groups of patients with bipolar disorder who appear on the basis of clinical judgement to show relatively stable or unstable illness courses, and shows that the observed mood variability is nonlinear and that the stable and unstable patient groups are described by different nonlinear time- series processes.

Voice analysis as an objective state marker in bipolar disorder

Voice features collected in naturalistic settings using smartphones may be used as objective state markers in patients with bipolar disorder and combining voice features with automatically generated objective smartphone data on behavioral activities and electronic self-monitored data increased the accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of classification of affective states slightly.
