Brief Summary

The worldwide prevalence of anxiety and depression increased massively during the pandemic, with a 25% rise in the number of patients suffering from psychological distress. Psychiatrists, and even more so general practitioners, need measurement tools that enable them to remotely monitor their patients' psychological state of health, and to be automatically alerted in the event of a break in behavior.

In this study, the investigators propose to collect clinical data along with longitudinal measurement of patients' emotions. Emobot proposes to analyze the evolution of mood disorders over time by passively studying people's emotional behavior. The aim of EMOACQ-1 is to acquire knowledge and produce a quantitative link between emotional expression and mood disorders, ultimately facilitating the understanding and management of these disorders.

Through this study, could be developed a technological solution to support healthcare professionals and patients in psychiatry, a field known as the "poor relation of medicine" and lacking in resources. Such a solution would enable better understanding, disorders remote & continuous monitoring and, ultimately, better treatment of these disorders.

The investigators will process the data by carrying out a number of analyses, including descriptive, comparative and correlation studies of the data from the self-questionnaire results and the emotional signals captured by the devices.

Finally, the aim will be to predict questionnaire scores from the emotional signals produced.

Conditions

Anxiety Disorders; Major Depressive Disorder

Study Design

• Observational Model Type: COHORT
• Study Time Perspective: PROSPECTIVE

Study Groups

The hardware group (on-board camera)

A physical device equipped with a camera and embedding the acquisition/monitoring software. Positioned in the living space, it will be possible to capture the facial expressions of the person in ecology, for example when watching a TV program or reading.

Acquisition and analysis of relationships between Longitudinal Emotional Signals produced by a software and Self-questionnaires.

Intervention Type: OTHER

Using the tool developed by Emobot, EMOACQ-1 is a study that passively and non-interventionaly collects data by capturing patients' facial expressions throughout the day, and then measures the correlation between emotional signals and the results of measurement questionnaires used in psychiatry.

The software-only group (running on a PC or tablet and using the available webcam)

Software running on a computer, connected to the computer's camera (webcam). If the person is teleworking on a PC, it is expected that images will be captured during videoconferencing-type interactions.
