管理双相情感障碍是一个重要的健康问题，在抑郁或躁狂发作期间会严重影响患者的生活质量，因此对医疗保健系统来说是一个日益沉重的负担。监测障碍进程的一种广泛实践的方法是通过情绪和一般心理健康问卷，现在通常在移动电子设备上实施。检测日常生活和行为的变化至关重要，因为它们可能是持续发作的症状，或者在外部原因的情况下，可能引发这种发作。目前的移动电话和地理空间技术提供了一种监测日常生活和生活方式方面的手段，这可能对促进病情的自我管理很有价值。本文介绍了一种方法，用于分析从基于中档移动电话的简单可穿戴系统获得的数据，以及来自三名无双相情感障碍病史的对照组的试验结果。建议这种方法提供了一种不显眼的、可接受的和低成本的监测双相情感障碍患者的方法，可以显著改善他们的护理。
Managing bipolar disorder is an important health issue that can strongly affect the patient's quality of life during occurrences of depressive or manic episodes and is therefore a growing burden to healthcare systems. A widely practised method of monitoring the course of the disorder is by mood and general mental health questionnaires, which are nowadays often implemented on mobile electronic devices.Detecting changes to daily routine and behaviour is of crucial importance as they can be symptomatic of an ongoing episode, or in the case of an external cause, may trigger such an episode.Current mobile phones and geospatial technology provide a means of monitoring aspects of daily routine and lifestyle which may be valuable in facilitating self-management of the condition.This manuscript introduces a methodology for analysing data obtained from a simple wearable system based on a mid-range mobile phone, along with trial results from a control group of three participants with no history of Bipolar Disorder. It is suggested that such an approach offers an unobtrusive, acceptable and low cost means of monitoring bipolar disorder patients that could significantly improve their care.
