The use of geospatial technologies and information derived from sensors contained in mobile phones and wearable devices for mental health treatments is still being explored. SyMptOMS (Sensor and MObile based Mental Health Solutions) is a research project that develops innovative solutions for the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mental health disorders through the enormous potential of smartphones (GPS, integrated sensors, contextual and location information) and other wearable mobile devices such as smart watches, smart garments and sports wristbands. The location and analysis of contextual information will be a distinctive aspect of the new solutions proposed by SyMptOMS, whose objective is to substantially improve the effectiveness of psychological assessments and interventions through advanced technological solutions.

The [SyMptOMS](http://geotec.uji.es/projects/SyMptOMS/) project - funded by the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities, State R&D&I Program aimed at the challenges of society (RTI2018-099939-B-I00 MCIU/AEI/FEDER, UE) - is co-directed by Carlos Granell Canut and Sven Casteleyn, both postdoctoral researchers of the Ramón y Cajal Programme of the Geospatial Technologies research group ([GEOTEC](http://geotec.uji.es/)), belonging to the Institute of New Imaging Technologies ([INIT](http://www.labpsitec.uji.es/)) of the Universitat Jaume I. In a first phase, research will focus on the collection of contextual data from various data sources such as sensors and wearables, to monitor the location and behavior of the patient. In this way, the system will be able to evaluate patients continuously. In a later phase, the time and place of the intervention will be intensified, based on continuous evaluation in real time: an interaction with the patient in order to modify his/her behaviour, by means of personalised psycho-educational content.
