What this Trial Is About
ECOCAPTURE@HOME is a study which is currently being developed with the objective to capture the behavioral signature of apathy in everyday life context through remote monitoring of participants' behavior for about one month. Participants will not only be patients with apathy but also their spouse caregiver. Behavioral markers of apathy will be extracted from a combination of: 1/ objective physiological data from sensors on a bracelet worn by participants; 2/ subjective data filled by the caregiver through an application. Thus investigators will collect a pool of metrics and show they can measure three assumed behavioral markers of apathy (daytime activity, quality of sleep and emotional arousal), which in turn allow to predict caregiver's perception of the dyad's psychological state. The final goal is to lay the foundations for the development of a clinical tool for the remote follow-up of patient-caregiver couples.
