Embodiment Construction

[0040] Figure 1 shows a patient 1 being monitored by a depression detection system according to the invention. The depression detection system is implemented as a patient-based, body-mounted device 2 and includes an accelerometer 3 with three sensing axes for measuring the patient's activity, for comparing the measured patient activity with the known activity The comparison of the contours results in a signal processing unit 4, and an interface unit 5 adapted to provide a signal to the patient depending on the result of the comparison. The patient-based device 2 is integrated into the patient's underwear and positioned near the patient's torso. The amount of useless motion data resulting from unrelated arm movements is reduced compared to other locations, such as at the patient's wrist. The patient-based device 2 is shown greatly enlarged for illustrative purposes.

[0041] As shown in Figure 2, the accelerometer 3 is connected to the signal processing unit 4, and the signal...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a depression detection system (2). Furthermore the invention relates to a method of detecting depressions and to a computer program. In order to provide an objective measure for a depression as well as for a relapse into depression, a depression detection system is suggested, the system comprising a patient-based device (2) using an actimetric sensor unit (3) adapted to measure a patient's activity and further comprising a signal processing unit (4) adapted to obtain a depression detection result based on the measured activity of the patient.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a depression detection system. Further, the invention relates to a method of detecting depression and to a computer program. Background technique [0002] Depression is a very common disease. It affects approximately one in five patients in the weeks following an acute myocardial infarction and is associated with increased heart disease morbidity and mortality. Since depression has a devastating impact not only on the patient's (his / her) person but also on his / her spouse and relatives' performance and quality of life, there are strong implications for how to achieve early diagnosis and subsequent early treatment interest of. Today, depression is diagnosed with the aid of detailed interviews with the patient, including the patient's spouse and / or relatives. Standard assessment scales (eg, Hamilton's Depression Scale) are used for this purpose. Objective measures of depression are missing, as are objective measures of depres...
