Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The objective of this study is to analyze the physiological patterns of two groups of patients, one control and one with anxiety disorder and alcoholic abuse disorder using sensor data from mobile devices and wearables. This data will be compared to the data presented by three clinical questionnaires: State-trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT), and the Beck's Depression Inventory (BDI-II) in order to determine the feasibility of remote collected data.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The objective of this study is to analyze the physiological patterns of two groups of patients, one control and one with anxiety disorder and alcoholic abuse disorder using sensor data from mobile devices and wearables. This data, collected by sensors, will be compared to the data presented by three clinical questionnaires: State-trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT), and the Beck's Depression Inventory (BDI-II) in order to determine the feasibility of using remote collected data in routine clinical practice. Furthermore, patient satisfaction with the app will be evaluated after the data collection phase.

This is a unicentric, case-controlled, longitudinal, evaluational, national study with two groups, one control of healthy individuals without symptoms of anxiety or depression, and another experimental group in which participants fulfill the given selection criteria for the trial. There are a total of 60 participants split evenly between the two groups.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Control

n=30 healthy participants will be recruited using social networks and leaflets of information distributed by the research team at the Hospital Cliníc de Barcelona.

The participants will be monitored over the course of one month using the humanITcare app "U-Shine," which will track participant's sociability, device usage, and location frequency using mobile sensors. Participants' data will also be monitored with a FitBit device to track sleep schedules, heart rate, and step count. During the weekly follow-up, they will have to complete the three clinical questionnaires taken at the initial visit.
