Abstract
Currently the diagnosis of Bipolar Disorder (BD) and Major Depression (MDD) is based on the subjective reporting of symptoms which are evaluated through clinical interviews. Unfortunately, around 40% of BD patients are initially misdiagnosed as MDD and the average time until a correct diagnosis is achieved is 7.5 â 12 years.
To improve the correct diagnosis of BD, we have developed a two-stage diagnostic approach combining an online questionnaire, which assesses symptoms and demographic patient characteristics, in conjunction with a biomarker test using mass spectrometry (MS) on self-collected dried blood spots.
I will also report on findings from a 6- and 12-month follow-up questionnaire and the development of Censeo, a digital psychiatric assessment platform, which was developed by the Bahn lab in collaboration with Psyomics Ltd. The Censeo platform has now been implemented in several NHS trusts.
