Mobile health interventions are regarded as affordable and accessible tools that can enhance standard psychiatric care. As part of the mHealth Psycho-Educational Intervention Versus Antipsychotic-Induced Side Effects (mPIVAS) project (www.psylog.eu), we developed the mobile application "PsyLOG" based on mobile "smartphone" technology to monitor antipsychotic-induced side effects. The aim of this paper is to describe the rationale and development of the PsyLOG and its clinical use. The PsyLOG application runs on smartphones with Android operating system. The application is currently available in seven languages (Croatian, Czech, English, French, German, Japanese and Serbian). It consists of several categories: "My Drug Effects", "My Life Styles", "My Charts", "My Medication", "My Strategies", "My Supporters", "Settings" and "About". The main category "My Drug Effects" includes a list of 30 side effects with the possibility to add three additional side effects. Side effects are each accompanied by an appropriate description and the possibility to rate its severity on a visual analogue scale from 0-100%. The PsyLOG application is intended to enhance the link between patients and mental health professionals, serving as a tool that more objectively monitors side-effects over certain periods of time. To the best of our knowledge, no such applications have so far been developed for patients taking antipsychotic medication or for their therapists.
移动健康干预措施被视为可增强标准精神科护理的经济实惠且易于获取的工具。作为移动健康心理教育干预对抗抗精神病药物所致副作用(mPIVAS)项目(www.psylog.eu)的一部分,我们基于移动“智能手机”技术开发了移动应用程序“PsyLOG”,用于监测抗精神病药物所致的副作用。本文旨在描述PsyLOG的基本原理、开发过程及其临床应用。PsyLOG应用程序运行于安卓操作系统的智能手机上。该应用程序目前有七种语言版本(克罗地亚语、捷克语、英语、法语、德语、日语和塞尔维亚语)。它由几个类别组成:“我的药物副作用”“我的生活方式”“我的图表”“我的用药”“我的策略”“我的支持者”“设置”和“关于”。主要类别“我的药物副作用”包含一份30种副作用的列表,还可以额外添加三种副作用。每种副作用都配有相应描述,并可在0 - 100%的视觉模拟量表上对其严重程度进行评分。PsyLOG应用程序旨在加强患者与心理健康专业人员之间的联系,作为一种在特定时间段内更客观地监测副作用的工具。据我们所知,目前尚未为服用抗精神病药物的患者或其治疗师开发出此类应用程序。
