Evidence-Based
by Design

Every sensor channel, every ML feature, and every clinical claim is grounded in peer-reviewed literature. Here is the research that underpins NeuroPatch.

Supporting Literature

Key peer-reviewed papers informing the NeuroPatch sensor selection and ML architecture.

Key Findings

Aggregate evidence from the research literature supporting the physiological biomarker approach to bipolar disorder monitoring.

  • Sweat-based cortisol electrochemical sensing correlates with serum cortisol during psychological stress, supporting its use as a continuous HPA axis proxy in wearable form factors
  • Combined EDA and EMG co-elevation is associated with manic prodrome onset in published bipolar physiological monitoring studies
  • Multimodal sensor fusion consistently outperforms single-channel approaches for affect state classification across published wearable datasets
  • EDA measurements from body-worn sensors show reliable sympathetic arousal tracking at clinically relevant timescales during naturalistic daily activity
  • BiLSTM architectures trained on individual patient baselines reduce false positive rates compared to population-level threshold approaches
