Takeda Teams With Lundbeck & Advocate Health Care To Test New Depression App

Takeda has recently teamed up with Lundbeck and Advocate Health Care on a study that uses an app with a conversational text interface to track and measure consumers’ experience while on antidepressants. During the study, consumers will record their medications, moods, side effects and other well-being measurements every day for 12 weeks.

The information recorded is designed to serve as a feedback mechanism for consumers that will inform the patient and the physician of progress and problems. If the consumer records thoughts about suicide, the app will trigger a message to their healthcare provider. Results from the Advocate Pathway . . .
