Over the last decade, the application of new information and communication technologies (ICT) to health has greatly increased. Because of its clinical and developmental characteristics, bipolar disorder is one of the mental illnesses for which its introduction is feasible and key aspects such as psychoeducation or therapeutical adherence can be enhanced through these techniques. The possibility of using sensors opens a new perspective as to identifying biological markers to detect early symp- toms of relapse. In this paper we review previous interventions for bipolar disorder using ITC, we analyze benefits and disad- vantages attached to their use and propose future research in this field, to include randomized trials for better efficacy and effi- ciency, together with a better definition of the target population.
La aplicación de las nuevas tecnologías de la información y la comunicación (TIC) a la salud ha experimentado un gran auge a lo largo de la última década. Por sus características clínicas y evolutivas, el trastorno bipolar es una de las enferme- dades mentales en las que su introducción es factible y aspectos claves como la psicoeducación o la adherencia terapéutica, se pueden ver beneficiados a través de estas técnicas. La posibilidad del uso de sensores abre una nueva perspectiva en la identifi- cación de marcadores biológicos en la detección de síntomas tempranos de recaída. En el presente trabajo realizamos una revi- sión de las intervenciones previas en el trastorno bipolar utilizando las TIC, analizamos las ventajas y desventajas inherentes a su uso y planteamos futuras líneas de investigación que incluyan ensayos aleatorizados, que avalen su eficacia y eficiencia, junto con una mejor definición de la población diana.
