Nevertheless, the effect of electronic self-monitoring in patients with bipolar disorder has never been investigated in a randomized controlled trial (RCT). The objective of this trial was to investigate in a RCT whether the use of daily electronic self-monitoring using smartphones reduces depressive and manic symptoms in patients with bipolar disorder.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0033291715000410_sec_a2\" sec-type=\"methods\"><jats:title>Method<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 78 patients with bipolar disorder according to ICD-10 criteria, aged 18\u201360 years, and with 17-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD-17) and Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS) scores \u226417 were randomized to the use of a smartphone for daily self-monitoring including a clinical feedback loop (the intervention group) or to the use of a smartphone for normal communicative purposes (the control group) for 6 months. The primary outcomes were differences in depressive and manic symptoms measured using HAMD-17 and YMRS, respectively, between the intervention and control groups.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0033291715000410_sec_a3\" sec-type=\"results\"><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Intention-to-treat analyses using linear mixed models showed no significant effects of daily self-monitoring using smartphones on depressive as well as manic symptoms.
