NCT03275714

Brief Summary

The primary objective of the clinical trial is to evaluate the data of an app for smartphones (BiP-App) with regard to sleep, movement, mood and communication behavior. The data will be compared between two groups: people with a bipolar affective disorder and individuals without a psychiatric disorder. Secondary objective of the trial is to investigate if it is possible to detect early warning symptoms of depressive / (hypo) manic episodes via the measured behavior patterns. Furthermore it will be evaluated whether the BiP-app can find applicability in the examined patient group. Study design: Clinical evaluation of a medical device without CE mark; Parallel study design
