PSYCHE (Personalised monitoring SYstems for Care in mental HEalth) project develops a personal, cost-effective, multi-parametric monitoring system based on textile platforms and portable sensing devices for the long term and short term acquisition of data from selected class of patients affected by mood disorders.

PSYCHE project is focusing on mental diseases management, in particular it is targeting bipolar patients. The project will use a novel approach based on the paradigm that a 24 hours monitoring in a natural setting, through a naturalistic approach will provide parameters, indexes and trends; that will be used to assess mood status, to support patients, to predict and anticipate treatment response at its earlier phases, to prevent relapse and to alert physicians in case of critical events.
