心理健康长期以来一直是全球卫生保健中被忽视的问题。精神疾病的社会和经济影响仍然被低估。然而，近年来，越来越明显的是，精神障碍是一个日益受到全球关注的问题，有必要开发新的服务和研究为患者提供干预的有效手段。这种新颖的服务可能包括已经在其他医疗保健应用中使用的基于技术的解决方案，但尚未进入标准的精神病学实践。这个手稿提出了一个系统，传感器被用来设计一个“早期预警”系统的患者双相情感障碍。该系统包含可穿戴和环境传感器，将收集独立于患者自我报告的行为数据。为了测试这一概念的可行性，设计了一个原型系统，随后进行了包括四名健康志愿者和一名躁郁症患者在内的试验。研究中使用的传感器产生的行为数据可能在检测双相情感障碍发作的早期影响方面具有重要意义。对特定数据输入进行的基本处理提供了有关区域活动模式的信息，这些区域通常受到双相情感障碍病程的强烈影响。该手稿讨论了基本的使用问题和其他障碍，这是要解决之前，以技术为基础的方法精神护理可以成功地推出和他们的真正价值评估。
Mental health has long been a neglected problem in global healthcare. The social and economic impacts of conditions affecting the mind are still underestimated. However, in recent years it is becoming more apparent that mental disorders are a growing global concern and there is a necessity of developing novel services and researching effective means of providing interventions to sufferers. Such novel services could include technology-based solutions already used in other healthcare applications but are yet to make their way into standard psychiatric practice. This manuscript proposes a system where sensors are utilised to devise an “early warning” system for patients with bipolar disorder. The system, containing wearable and environmental sensors, would collect behavioural data independent from the patient’s self-report. To test the feasibility of the concept, a prototype system was devised, which was followed by trials including four healthy volunteers as well as a bipolar patient. The sensors utilised in the study yielded behavioural data which may be of significant use in detecting early effects of a bipolar episode. Basic processing performed on particular data inputs provided information about activity patterns in areas, which are usually strongly influenced by the course of Bipolar Disorder. The manuscript discusses the basic usage issues and other barriers which are to be tackled before technology-based approaches to mental care can be successfully rolled out and their true value appraised.
