NCT ID: NCT03410381 Completed - Clinical trials for Person at Risk of Suicide

Ecological Momentary Mental Assessment

EMMA
Start date: May 31, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Suicide is a major health problem that causes annually a million death worldwide. Suicide and suicide attempts are preventable. A history of self-injuries or suicidal attempts are known to be the most important risk factor for death by suicide. Suicidal ideation is also strongly correlated with suicide attempts. The development of Smartphones applications offers new possibilities for data collection and transmission. Moreover, the online help function, when a suicidal crisis occurs, is the most effective strategy for prevention of suicidal behavior. Specific technologies have been developed to analyse behaviors and experiences of patients in a natural environment, in real life. That is the goal of Ecological Momentary Assessment. The aim of the study is to develop an algorithm to assess and predict the risk of suicidal event occurrence, in order to detect as soon as possible the signs of suicidal crisis. EMMA will be the first application in French, meeting the recommendations for health applications, developed by experts on suicidal behavior and in collaboration with patients which aims to predict suicidal risk. A subsequent study, conducted on a larger population, should allow to validate the predictive algorithm of EMMA. Long-term goal is to improve the care of patients at risk for suicidal behavior.
