Remote Evaluation and Alerting for Collaborative Health (REACH) in Depression
Sponsor: Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center
Summary
Researchers hope to see if the data smartphones collect continuously can be used to predict if patient's depression symptoms will return. They will do this by collecting data from patient's smartphones and comparing it to their depression symptoms. If this method is successful, researchers could develop a smartphone application to help healthcare providers better monitor patient's depression and intervene earlier if symptoms return.

MoodTriggers Application
The Mood Triggers application, developed by Dr. Jacobson, will be used for collecting smartphone sensor data. This HIPAA-compliant app has been incorporated into various projects at Dartmouth, Stanford, and MGH/Harvard, with development supported by NIDA, NIMHD, NCI, and the Department of Veterans Affairs. The Mood Triggers app will capture a wide range of metrics, including psychomotor agitation, sleep disturbances, low behavioral activation, social contact, exposure to natural light, heart rate, heart rate variability, and screen time. The app also tracks the patient's screen time and app usage data. The Mood Triggers App will be installed on the smartphones at time of informed consent for all 120 patients enrolled in Phase 1 and for 100 clinical trial participants randomized to the "early warning system" (intervention arm) in Phase 2. Data will be collected from the Mood Triggers App starting on day of discharge from care and for 6 months post-discharge date.
