“…They also reported successful self rating of depression by computer questionnaire, together with favourable comments from patients, nurses, and medical staff. 5 The results of this study confirm that the dosage schedule of alfentanil used had the advantage of a more rapid return to consciousness and orientation compared with the more traditional halothane anaesthesia. We would certainly consider the use of viewdata for collecting record forms in future multicentre studies.…”

The interactive electronic information storage and transmission system PRESTEL was assessed as a method of recording and collecting patient record forms from a multicentre trial in anaesthesia. PRESTEL terminals were provided in anaesthetic centres around Britain and all data handled by this public viewdata service, which connects users by telephone to a central computer. The trial was of a new analgesic supplement, alfentanil, and confirmed more rapid recovery of patients as compared with that after traditional anaesthesia with halothane.

“…As has been reported previously (7,8,11,12), interview by computer was an acceptable method of assessing psychiatric patients. Considering the circumstances under which the patients in this study were in hospital, only 30 out of 167 patients refused to participate.…”

“…The use of a microcomputer to deliver a selfrating version of the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HRSD) (10) has been reported (11) and is highly correlated with observer-derived scores using the standard 17-item scale (12). It was decided to establish a prospective study, using computer-delivered depression and suicide self-rating (9).…”

A prospective study of 167 consecutive patients admitted to a general hospital following an episode of deliberate self-harm was carried out; 102 patients were interviewed by computer and then by a psychiatrist who was blind to the results of the computer interview. The computer interview consisted of a self-rating modification of the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression and a novel questionnaire developed to assess suicidal ideation. This article explores the preliminary findings in these patients and suggests that not only is the computer interview acceptable to the majority of patients but the data suggest, in line with previous studies, that the patients are prepared to confide information to the computer that they may be unwilling to tell the clinician. Further the data also suggest a significant pathoplastic effect of the personality of the patient on the perception of the psychopathology by the clinician. The computer appeared to be a better predictor of suicidality than the interview by the clinician.

“…Other examples of automated systems for reporting affective symptoms include the use of a palmtop computer to enter life charts [83], employing an interactive voice response system (IVR) over the telephone to administer the HAMD and HAMA scales [84], using a PC to administer a modified version of the HAMD [85], an optical scanning format of the Internal State Scale [86]. The selection of technological approach varies with the patient population, available budget, clinical or study trials situation, and technological skill level of the administrative staff.…”

Bipolar disorder remains a serious public health problem with a significant personal and economic burden. In line with the widespread recognition of the value of active patient involvement in their care, daily mood charting may increase the patient's understanding of their condition and improve adherence with complex medication regimes. Knowledge about the course and pattern of an individual's disorder may also allow earlier recognition of new episodes and help determine the optimal treatment strategy. Mood charting is also an essential tool for longitudinal studies of patient outcomes. Traditionally, patients have used paper-based tools for this daily self-assessment, but these forms are associated with problems of data quality, poor compliance, high costs for data entry, and only provide limited feedback for the patient and physician. As computer technology has gained acceptance by the public worldwide, new options are available to automate monitoring of patients with mood disorders. This article will review mood charting and describe our experience with the development, validation and use of ChronoRecord, an automated instrument for mood charting.
