Abstract

We describe a real life study of the use of smart phone based sensors for state monitoring of bipolar disorder (manic-depressive disorder). The study was conducted with 10 patients in a rural area of Austria under the supervision of a local psychiatric hospital. It shows initial evidence that relatively simple features derived from location, motion and phone call patterns are a good indication of state transitions.
