Abstract
"MoodTrek is designed to minimize the impact of the recency effect on the diagnosis and treatment of depression. Composed of two parts, MoodTrek is a patient-facing app and a provider-facing view within the Electronic Medical Record (EMR.) The app allows patients to track their moods, activity, and sleep, as well as journal about their experience. This information is automatically transferred to the EMR. This provides the care team with all of the benefits of a traditional mood chart plus a richer data set powered by the patient's actual activity. The hypothesized result being a more accurate diagnosis and a richer collaboration between patient and provider thanks to data provided in real time rather than anecdotal information provided after the fact. Available on both iOS (May) and Android, the tool requires no special training, and is available to nearly anyone with a smartphone. When using a Fitbit with the app the patient's activity and sleep information is captured accurately and completely. The average time needed to use the app is less than 6 seconds per day."
