Mobile Sensing and Support for Depression (MOSS)

June 1, 2017 updated by: University of Zurich

Monocentric Study for Development of a Smartphone Application for Patients With Depressive

The objective of this study is two fold, first to explore the potential of context sensitive intervention delivery to provide in-situ support for people with depressive symptoms, second to explore the detection of daily-life behavior based on smart phone sensor information to identify subjects with a clinically meaningful depression level.

Detailed Description

To conduct a very first pilot trial, a monocentric, single-arm clinical study is conducted. The study is approved by the local ethics committee of the Canton of Zurich in Switzerland and the Swiss Agency for Therapeutic Products. It is conducted in full accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki, with all subjects providing their electronic informed consent prior to participation. As the main interest lies in a proof of concept of the proposed MOSS app, emphasis is put on real life conditions. A range of different recruitment channels is used to attract subjects from the general public; they include physical flyers, online posts on relevant online bulletin boards and the Google Play Store.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Patient Health Questionnaire - for depression (PHQ-9)
Time Frame: baseline
subjective depressive symptoms to compare the detected symptoms measured by the app This outcome is needed for the sensing part of the study
baseline

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (ZUF-8)- measures client satisfaction with the app
Time Frame: at post (at least 6 weeks after baseline) however some participants will use the app longer than 6 weeks, maximum 6 months
Client satisfaction with the app is assessed
at post (at least 6 weeks after baseline) however some participants will use the app longer than 6 weeks, maximum 6 months

Other Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Patient Health Questionnaire - for depression (PHQ-9) change
Time Frame: baseline and every other week for at least 6 weeks up to 6 months
Change of symptoms due to the Support app. As the study is two-fold and also includes a supporting part, this measure is needed for the supporting part of the study
baseline and every other week for at least 6 weeks up to 6 months
