Computerized ambulatory monitoring in mood disorders: Feasibility, compliance, and reactivity

Abstract: Patients with depression (n =20) or bipolar disorder (n =21) completed computerized ambulatory monitoring for three consecutive days. Results indicate satisfactory rates of acceptance and compliance, with no salient fatigue effects. However, some evidence for reactive effects was found. The findings provide support for this approach in the study of mood disorders. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
