The wearable is a vest that incorporates a set of electrophysiological and biomechanical sensors including and not limited to: Heart Rate, Breathing Rate, IR Skin Temperature, Posture, Activity...etc.
The collected data was recorded from patients in Ottawa (n = 40) and others at CAMH (n = 13).

This project is being conducted to have a better understanding of the physiological and kinematic manifestations of Bipolar Disorder at different stages.

The aim is to have a clear data-driven model that serves as diagnostic and treatment progress monitoring tool for Bipolar Disorder patients and caregivers.

This project will be beneficial to the caregivers (doctors and nurses) primarily, and for the patients and their family members being a part of the biofeedback loop that aids in their treatment.

The developed models and analytical workflows may be deployed in wearable medical devices or on secure cloud to provide diagnostic and therapeutic feedback, as well as insights on BD progress for the progress of mental health research.
