Health Steps Programs

Monitoring

Symptom Monitoring is an online program designed by specialist psychiatrists and psychologists that will assist you to monitor changes in your symptoms, enhance control over your condition and help you to stay well and enjoy life.

Research

Sentiens has a strong emphasis on research. We have been involved with e-health research at a state, national and international level. There are several major projects currently being investigated. Our aim is to partner with organisations and people who are interested in developing e-health solutions for mental health conditions and the serious chronic health issues affecting the population.

What evidence is there to specifically support the use of our e-health systems?

Our ehealth systems have been applied in a number of practical and research settings and is commonly employed in the clinical programs run by Sentiens. The infrastructure has been trialled and implemented in the mental health sector for chronic disease management and longer-term treatment of depressive disorders. The use of RecoveryRoad programs in persons diagnosed with depression was associated with high medication adherence and reductions in symptom measures over 12-months follow-up. 

Hurricane Choir Mental Health Project

Hurricane Choir Mental Health Project

In addition, the system and RecoveryRoad programs were implemented in the United States as a monitoring tool to determine the long-term mental health outcomes of hurricane survivors and the effect of a mass community intervention in a post Hurricane Katrina recovery effort. In writing to the Honourable John Howard, both United States Congress and the Governor of Louisiana acknowledged the innovative technology that was developed by Sentiens in this post-Hurricane recovery effort.

The aim of this project was to measure the effects of singing on mental health. We were involved with this project to customise the InfraPsych System to deploy an internet-based mental health assessment and monitoring programs as part of RecoveryRoad.

RecoveryRoad Program for Bipolar Disorder

RecoveryRoad was also recently implemented in a world first randomised control trial of online DM for bipolar disorder. Phase one of the randomised control trial was completed in late 2007 and phase two, involving a 12-month follow-up, has commenced subsequently. These applications of RecoveryRoad support its efficacy as a tool for long-term monitoring and management of chronic illness.
