Welcome to the bip4cast wiki!
The main goal of bip4cast is to detect and prevent crises in patients with bipolar disorder. This project is supported by Our Lady of the Peace Mental Hospital (part of the Brothers Hospitallers of Saint John of God) and Complutense University of Madrid and is part of my University Degree Final Project.
To achieve this, bip4cast is composed of:
- An actigraph, weared by the patient 24/7. This actigraph collects data such as position, luminosity, activity,... of the patient.
- An Android app also used to collect subjective data from patients such as level of concentration and motivation, time to go to bed and time to wake up, number of cigarettes consumed per day, etc.
- This web app, based on Node.js, to manage all the collected data by the Android app and the actigraph and it's used by psychiatrists and other professionals. With this app, him or her could prescribe medicines, send messages to the patients' Android app, and allows him or her testing patients' status using these standardized test:
- GAF (Global Assessment of Functioning).
- HDRS (Hamilton Depression Rating Scale).
- YMRS (Young Mania Rating Scale).
- PANSS (Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale).
Things you need to use bip4cast:
- Node.js (version 0.10.25 or higher)
- That's it! Just clone this repository wherever you want.
Then, install bip4cast using npm: npm install. npm will install all needed dependencies to run bip4cast. After that, you only need to run bip4cast using node app.js.
