Smartphone App for Bipolar Detects Early Mood Changes | Psych Central News

This is still in the works, but a computer application is being developed that monitors phone calls and analyzes the start and progression of mood changes from voice clues.

If it delivers as hoped, this can alert us to our movement toward mania/hypomania or depression before we become conscious of these mood changes. It warns us to, "Watch out!" As it is now (for me, at least) I'm in the mood and already being damaged by it--already weakened and less able to cope with what's coming. Getting a "heads up" could make an important difference.

If anyone knows more about this or hears of the apps's availability, please post. In BIG LETTERS!!!

Wow! I wonder if it could send email warnings to our close friends & loved ones? Then my boyfriend would know when to leave me alone.

That's pretty cool. I'm one of surprised that such a thing would exist though considering the stigma against mental illness. It would be very helpful for when we couldn't catch our moods changing if of works. and yea it would be cool if it could send alerts to loved ones

There are other apps out there to help with various mental illnesses. I have a couple of mood and anxiety apps on my iPhone, and I'm sure androids have their version.

This one differs in that it works (I think) with biofeedback. That's better for me, because in my opinion I have only two moods--very depressed and dangerously depressed. That's not true, of course, but I'm so negative that I refuse to consider anything better.

Thanks for the info but I meant what are the names of the apps you have now. You had said "I have a couple of mood and anxiety apps on my iPhone"
