Abstract

For this project, we have used new technologies to create a new channel of communication between doctors and patients in the treatment of mental disorders. We have created a web application using an adaptable design accessible from any mobile device, which allows doctors to adapt their patients' therapy to real-time knowledge of their current condition. In turn, patients can express their mood state with respect to the component elements of their therapy.

Keywords: doctor–patient communication; emotional diary; mental disorders; psychological test; therapeutic adherence.
