Book NowWhat is the science behind Sherpah Connect?
Circadian rhythms are natural, internal processes that regulate the sleep-wake cycle and repeat roughly every 24 hours. Disruptions in these rhythms have been linked to various mental health disorders, including depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder. Specifically, alterations in circadian heart rate patterns have been associated with psychiatric conditions, serving as potential biomarkers for mental illness. For instance, research has demonstrated that individuals with depression exhibit distinct deviations in their circadian heart rate compared to healthy individuals.
How MySherpah Enhances Mental Health Monitoring
Traditional mental health assessments often rely on self-reported data, which can be subjective and influenced by various factors. MySherpah addresses this limitation by utilizing wearable sensors to collect high-quality, objective physiological data, such as circadian heart rate patterns. This approach enables continuous, real-world monitoring of mental health, providing a comprehensive overview of an individual's well-being.
Key features of MySherpah include
Link any smart watch: Such as Fitbit or Garmin devices, via the MySherpah app and share all of your data with your healthcare provider at the click of a button.
Continuous Monitoring: Sherpah's proprietary algorithms analyse physiological data, offering real-time insights into your mental health, allowing for early detection of potential issues.
Data-Driven Assessments: The app provides objective measures that can complement traditional assessments, offering a more accurate representation of your mental state.
Personalized Feedback: Based on the collected data, MySherpah delivers tailored recommendations to help you maintain or improve your mental well-being.
Supporting Healthcare Professionals in Treatment and Relapse Prevention
For healthcare providers, MySherpah serves as a valuable tool to monitor patients' progress and detect early signs of relapse. The continuous data collection allows clinicians to assess the effectiveness of interventions objectively and make informed decisions about treatment adjustments.
Empowering Individuals and Enhancing Quality of Life
Beyond clinical settings, MySherpah empowers individuals to take an active role in managing their mental health. By offering insights into how daily activities, sleep patterns, and stress levels affect circadian heart rate patterns, users can make informed lifestyle choices that promote better mental well-being.
Incorporating wearable technology into mental health management has been shown to improve real-time assessments and promote mental wellness, ultimately enhancing the quality of life for users.
