DEDICAT

The DEDICAT app is one of the tools associated with the research of the DEDICAT study at Ghent University. The ultimate goal of this study is to predict depressive episodes in a vulnerable population. For more information about the research, please visit the website of the PreDiCT team (http://predict.idlab.ugent.be), part of the IDLab research group at Ghent University. More information about the DEDICAT study can be found at http://predict.idlab.ugent.be/studies/dedicat. The DEDICAT study is a collaboration between PANlab, IDLab, GHEPlab, and imec-mict-UGent.

If you are not an active participant in the DEDICAT study, you will not be able to do anything with this app and there is therefore no point in installing this app.

The app is currently in its initial development phase, with a focus on collecting contextual data. The functionality of the app will be continuously expanded as the research progresses. The research also collects contextual data from a smartwatch using a Wear OS app. This Wear OS app will also be further functionally expanded during the research.

This app uses an Accessibility Service to monitor application usage on your device. You can refuse this at any time, cancel your participation or have your data deleted.
