Clinical Scorecard: Evaluating the Acceptability and Feasibility of Wearable Mobile Monitoring Devices for Individuals with Severe Mental Illness: A Qualitative Study
At a Glance
Category
Detail
Condition
Severe Mental Illness (SMI)
Key Mechanisms
Use of wearable mobile-monitoring devices to track health behaviors and symptoms.
Target Population
Adults with severe mental illnesses, including schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder, and PTSD.
Care Setting
Veterans Affairs healthcare system.
Key Highlights
SMIs affect nearly 15.4 million adults and require ongoing monitoring.
Wearable devices can potentially improve treatment outcomes and care coordination.
Individuals with SMI show favorable attitudes toward mobile technology.
Patient-generated health data (PGHD) may predict relapses and inform treatment adjustments.
Concerns about privacy and data sharing need further exploration.
Guideline-Based Recommendations
Diagnosis
Monitor health behaviors and symptoms using wearable devices.
Management
Integrate mobile-sensing technology into usual care for individuals with SMI.
Monitoring & Follow-up
Utilize PGHD to track changes in health behaviors and proactively adjust treatments.
Risks
Address concerns regarding privacy, location tracking, and data sharing.
Patient & Prescribing Data
Veterans diagnosed with SMI receiving care at the Greater Los Angeles VA.
Complex medication regimens can hinder adherence; wearable devices may assist in monitoring treatment effects.
Clinical Best Practices
Encourage the use of mobile health interventions to improve treatment adherence.
Facilitate patient education on health conditions through mobile apps.
Implement regular assessments of patient attitudes toward wearable technology.
