Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Measure heart rate variability

    The Medibio Algorithm will process data from subject 24-hour ECG data recordings.

    Up to 2 weeks

Study Arms (2)

Depressed

Subjects currently experiencing a moderate-to-severe major depressive episode are clinically evaluated over approximately 2-week period. 24-hour ECG data recordings are collected during each of the two weeks. Subjects may continue on current treatment regimen.

Diagnostic Test: Medibio Depression Diagnostic AidDiagnostic Test: Mini International Neuropsychiatric InterviewDiagnostic Test: Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression - 17 Item

Control

Subjects not currently experiencing a major depressive episode are clinically evaluated over approximately 2-week period. 24-hour ECG data recordings are collected during each of the two weeks. Subjects may continue on current treatment regimen.

Diagnostic Test: Medibio Depression Diagnostic AidDiagnostic Test: Mini International Neuropsychiatric InterviewDiagnostic Test: Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression - 17 Item

Interventions

The Medibio DDA processes the heart rate and actigraphy data from the third-party devices, characterizes these data in comparison to the benchmark patterns of persons currently experiencing a depressive episode.

ControlDepressed

The Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (M.I.N.I.) is a structured diagnostic interview that was developed as a simple tool to assist clinicians to conduct psychiatric diagnoses according to the DSM-IV and International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems tenth revision (ICD-10) criteria.

Also known as: M.I.N.I.
ControlDepressed

The clinician-administered Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (also known as the HAM-D) is the most widely used depression assessment scale . The original version contains 17 items (HDRS17) pertaining to symptoms of depression experienced over the past week. There are numerous versions with varying lengths that include the HDRS21, HDRS24, and HDRS29. This study will utilize the HDRS17 (HAMD-17) version.

Also known as: HAMD-17
