Abstract

The daily electronic self-monitoring Smartphone software "MONARCA" was used by 17 patients with bipolar disorder for 3 consecutive months. Patients were rated fortnightly using Hamilton Depression rating Scale 17 items (HDRS-17) and Young Mania rating Scale (YMRS) (102 ratings) with blinding for Smartphone data. Objective Smartphone measures such as physical and social activity correlated with clinically rated depressive symptoms. Self-monitored depressive symptoms correlated significantly with HDRS-17 items score.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Studies conducted with patients with depression have mostly relied on self-report questionnaires to assign diagnoses and/or measure variation in symptoms and train the models.

    “Those studies conducted with patients with depression have mostly relied on self-report questionnaires to assign diagnoses and/or measure variation in symptoms and train the models.”
  • Prior investigations have primarily focused on detecting presence or absence of depression rather than on assessing its severity, and they have shown overall low accuracy.

    “This has resulted in possible reliability problems, since these investigations have primarily focused on detecting presence or absence of depression rather than on assessing its severity, and they have shown overall low accuracy (14–18, 23–27).”
  • Severe depressive symptoms are associated with shorter duration of incoming and outgoing calls, and fewer incoming and outgoing phone calls and daily text messages.

    “recent work shows that severe depressive symptoms are associated with shorter duration of incoming and outgoing calls, and fewer incoming and outgoing phone calls and daily text messages (13–18).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
