Purpose

The Digital Clinic aims to provide short-term medication management and supportive counseling by equipping patients with smartphone apps to help them understand connections between their behaviors and their mental health.  This use of personal data helps to inform health related goal-setting and to identify app-supported self-management strategies

Collection

LAMP helps capture the dynamic symptoms of mental health and understand the social, environmental, and temporal factors that impact recovery.  

Interpretation

Information collected from LAMP is visualized on the dashboard and interpreted in sessions with both the patient and clinician present. 

Implementation

Relevant trends can easily be identified and used during the clinical visit to focus on treatment planning and recovery going forward.
