abstract

  • The prevalence of mental disorders and the high use of services by these patients require a transformation. The generation of new strategies such as 'smart health' promises to be an adequate response. Objective: To describe the outcomes in patients with diagnoses of mental disorders at hospital discharge and in day hospital in relation to the use of a digital platform. Methodology: A digital platform was used to record the behavior of three main symptoms of mental disorders: sleep, mood, and energy. An observational, cross-sectional study is planned. 66 adult patients (18 to 65 years old) with a diagnosis of Anxiety, Depression or Bipolar Affective Disorder were included. Results: Of the subjects, 52% were recruited in day hospital and 48% in hospitalization. From de sample, 77% were female and 23% male. The pattern of use of the application presents differences by gender, being more constant in men and episodic in women in relation to the appearance of symptoms. This divergence in the use of the platform is also observed in age groups, for the youngest the use was more constant. Conclusions: Apparently, this type of tool generates positive responses, more and better studies are required to demonstrate its effectiveness in monitoring and accompanying patients with mental disorders
