:The growing aging population and the increasingly healthcare costs demand a new paradigm for the healthcare system, which must focus on patient and emphasize mainly prevention, not only treatment. In this context, and with the wide availability of mobile technology, we here propose a patient monitoring system based on wearable sensors, and connected to a medical datacenter through a mobile device. Patients with bipolar disorder can benefit from this remote monitoring system, as warning signs can be detected early, preventing a hospitalization. Studies have reported that great part of those diagnosed with bipolar disorder do not report recognizing any early warning signs. Thus, to prevent relapses, in our system, predictive information associated with warning signs are sent to the patient's doctor. This paper proposes a continuous monitoring system of the patients movement amount, including quality of sleep, through a system composed of wearable device, patient's smartphone and a web application.
