The research question
How do symptoms and daily functioning vary during routine depression care?
Proposed design
Prospective observational assessments with a defined clinical support process; wearable activity is an optional separately consented module.
Illustrative design: 8- to 12-week follow-up; setup and recruitment are scoped separately.
Data to collect
- Mood and symptom measures
- Sleep, energy and activity interference
- Reported treatment use and changes
- Participant burden and assessment completion
Planned outputs
- Within-person symptom and functioning trajectories
- Reported treatment experience
- Feasibility and missingness analysis
What we confirm with you
We agree the population, sample size, country, collection tools, analysis plan and budget. Collection starts after the required consent, ethics or other permissions and a signed scope are in place.
- Establish risk assessment and response arrangements before collection
- Verify instrument rights and cohort definitions
- Avoid automated diagnosis or relapse claims without separate validation
Clinical records, laboratory results, photographs and device integrations are included only when access, collection quality and permitted use have been verified. Self-reported findings are identified as such.
