Psymate
Psymate
Psymate is an innovative monitoring system in development at MUMC.
This computer, which is similar to a palmtop, will be given to patients suffering from psychosis as part of their treatment. Important exercises learned by patients in treatment sessions are made available via the Psymate throughout the day. The patient receives rapid feedback on the exercises. At the same time, more data can be gathered regarding the relationship between sensitivity to stress and the effect this has upon the severity of the symptoms of psychosis. This data will provide more insight into the question why some people develop psychosis and others do not.
