In-situ and ambulatory patient monitoring in naturalistic settings enables symptom observation outside controlled clinical settings, ultimately enhancing assessment and diagnostic processes. While a plethora of systems have been proposed for in-situ monitoring of physiological pathologies (e.g., cardiac abnormalities, seizures), technologies that monitor psychiatric- and mental health-related symptoms are scarce. These technologies can complement and enhance existing assessment methods which generally rely on highly subjective self- and care-giver reports. In this domain, monitoring of emotional processes is of specific interest as these processes play a key role in psychopathology (e.g., anxiety, depression, borderline personality disorder, bipolar disorders). The long-term objective of the proposed program is to develop intelligent, mobile, and wearable computing systems for continuous and in-situ monitoring of symptoms associated with psychiatric disorders as well as the related contextual factors.

在自然环境中进行原位和动态患者监测，可以在受控临床环境之外进行症状观察，最终增强评估和诊断过程。虽然已经提出了过多的系统用于生理病理的原位监测（例如，心脏异常、癫痫发作），但监测精神病和心理健康相关症状的技术很少。这些技术可以补充和增强现有的评估方法，这些方法通常依赖于高度主观的自我和护理报告。在这一领域，对情绪过程的监测是特别感兴趣的，因为这些过程在精神病理学中起着关键作用（例如，焦虑、抑郁、边缘性人格障碍、双相情感障碍）。该计划的长期目标是开发智能的、移动的和可穿戴的计算系统，用于连续和原位监测与精神疾病相关的症状以及相关的背景因素。
