E-predictD
E-predictD is an application designed to help people prevent depression. This application is based on information technology, carries a series of predictive algorithms that help the patient to make a decision about the things he can do to prevent a depression, while also being connected to his family doctor.
The application
The user downloads the application, answers a series of questions and is informed of the results. From there, it develops a series of programs that can be done to prevent depression and the user can choose what he wants.
Within the clinical trial to be performed, the application recommends that you visit your family doctor to discuss it.
This prevention program is customized for each user, their risk factors, what they want and their circumstances.
