HOW PHASE WORKS

Track. Make visible. Make usable. Share.

PHASE makes the course of an illness visible that only shows itself over time .

TRACK

The core variables.
Once a day.

A complete daily entry in under 60 seconds. A few guideline-based variables, easy to fill in. You can add a note to every category — these free texts form the qualitative layer of the archive.

Mood.
Energy.
Deliberately separate.

Two separate axes from −4 to +4 instead of a single mood score. This makes mixed states visible — such as high energy with low mood — and can potentially improve predictive value.

  • −4 low point … 0 balanced … +4 out of control
  • Short example hints guide your rating
  • Optional note for each axis — context right next to the value

Sleep and
medication in view.

In bipolar disorder, sleep is a key biological factor and a common early warning sign — which is why it is tracked in detail. Medication is documented including deviations and as-needed medication.

  • Sleep period, rhythm, quality, special notes — plus a sleep note
  • Regular and as-needed medication with deviations and a note
  • Basis for working on rhythm stability (IPSRT)

GUIDELINE REFERENCE

The core variables follow the German S3 guideline on bipolar disorder by DGBS and DGPPN1 — down to the scale and wording. They reflect what is central to long-term treatment there: recognising personal early warning signs early, stabilising sleep and daily rhythm, and reliably keeping track of medication. PHASE makes these factors visible every day.

More about the scientific basis

MAKE VISIBLE

Charts side by side.

MAKE VISIBLE

Charts side by side.

The key: variables stacked instead of separate. All charts share the same timeline, so connections become visible right away — such as the drop in sleep around an episode.

  • All charts synchronised on the same timeline
  • Freely selectable period — from one week to one year
  • Not limited to these three — more parameters available

Numbers tell you what.
Context shows early warning signs.

Storing both separately is easy. The value comes when the system recognises which note contains an emerging early warning sign — and links it to the course.

Quantitative

Mood · energy · sleep
Medication · substances

structured, daily, comparable

Qualitative

Context notes & diary

Observations, early warning signs, personal experience

Weighted link

A possible early warning sign becomes visible — and searchable.

"Example: my thoughts have been racing for days, I hardly need sleep — an early warning sign that doesn't show up in the numbers yet."

MAKE USABLE

Four AI companions.
The way into the archive.

The data is not just stored but can be asked questions. Four companions open up the archive in different ways — strictly descriptive and without diagnosis.

Examples with made-up data. The AI companions describe connections — they do not make diagnoses or give medical advice.

SHARE

One memory.
Three perspectives.

Bipolar disorder rarely affects just one person. Clinicians see a snapshot during appointments, family and friends experience everyday life, and the people affected sometimes notice changes late. PHASE brings these viewpoints together in one shared course memory — and you decide who sees what.

For clinicians

Shared areas and a structured course report for the appointment — instead of reconstructing the course from memory.

For family and friends

Family and friends see the shared course and can add their own observations. This outside view is an additional early warning signal — especially when changes are hard to notice from the inside.

For you

You decide area by area what is shared — and you can change or withdraw any share at any time.

How sharing works.

  1. Invite

    You invite a person, for example your psychiatrist or your partner.

  2. Choose areas

    You decide what they may see — for example sleep and mood, but not your diary.

  3. Adjust at any time

    Shares can be changed or withdrawn, immediately and without giving a reason.
