ABSTRACT
The circadian rhythm for mood (CRM) is a digital therapeutic, which aims to prevent mood episode and improve clinical course in patients with major mood disorders. Developed on the circadian rhythm hypothesis of mood disorder, CRM predicts the impending risk of mood episode with its built-in algorithm, utilizing wearable devices data and daily self-reports, and provides personalized feedback. In a pilot study of the CRM, the users experienced less frequent and shorter duration of mood episodes than the non-users. To investigate the efficacy of the upgraded CRM, a double-blind, randomized, sham-controlled, parallel-group trial is designed. Patients aged between 19 and 70, diagnosed with bipolar I disorder, bipolar II disorder, or major depressive disorder, in a euthymic state for more than two months, can participate. During this 12-month trial, participants are assessed for episode recurrence every three months, and the efficacy of the CRM as a potential digital therapeutic is evaluated. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier NCT05400785.
