Abstract :
An increasing number of persuasive personal healthcare monitoring systems are being researched, designed and tested, many of them being based on Smartphone technology. These systems could help patients and clinicians monitor and manage mental illness. Mental illness is complex, difficult to treat, and carries social stigma. We describe our setup to support the treatment of bipolar patients using a persuasive mobile phone monitoring system and a web portal.
