DESCRIPTION:Currently the diagnosis of Bipolar Disorder (BD) and Major Dep
 ression (MDD) is based on the subjective reporting of symptoms which are e
 valuated through clinical interviews. \nUnfortunately\, around 40% of BD p
 atients are initially misdiagnosed as MDD and the average time until a cor
 rect diagnosis is achieved is 7.5 – 12 years.\n\nTo improve the correct 
 diagnosis of BD\, we have developed a two-stage diagnostic approach combin
 ing an online questionnaire\, which assesses symptoms and demographic pati
 ent characteristics\, in conjunction with a biomarker test using mass spec
 trometry (MS) on self-collected dried blood spots.\n\nI will also report o
 n findings from a 6- and 12-month follow-up questionnaire and the developm
 ent of Censeo\, a digital psychiatric assessment platform\, which was deve
 loped by the Bahn lab in collaboration with Psyomics Ltd. The Censeo platf
 orm has now been implemented in several NHS trusts.\n\nMore details are "h
