A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study follows 100 adults with bipolar or depressive disorders over one year using a wearable smartwatch and smartphone to collect physiological and behavioral data. Researchers will annotate mood states (manic, depressive, or euthymic) and build models to predict recurrence of mood episodes. The goal is to enable earlier clinical intervention if relapse is detected by the data patterns. The study focuses on leveraging continuous monitoring to improve forecasting of mood episode recurrence. No intervention is being tested beyond data collection and model development.
