A Study on System for Rehabilitation Using Sensing Data of Patients with Mental Illness

This study presents a support system for rehabilitating patients with mental illnesses using data from wearable devices. Utilizing the Fitbit Sense 2 smartwatch, the system collects daily life data and displays it graphically for both patients and physicians, enhancing traditional diagnostic methods. The system comprises a sensor unit for data collection, an information processing unit, and an information presentation unit. A pilot study with four patients and one physician over three months showed effective data acquisition and significant utility in depression treatment. This integration of sensing data with traditional diagnostics offers valuable insights for mental health care.
