Abstract: We present the development of a mobile app that collects responses from mental health patients, using an outcome questionnaire as a feedback mechanism about their mental conditions and progresses. The responses to the questionnaires are gathered using a mobile phone and stored and analyzed in a cloud-based system. Data analytics on the cloud enables clinicians to monitor the progress of patients, to evaluate the effectiveness of treatment and to make decisions about the patients. In this paper, we will explain our research results on suitable outcome questionnaire, will elaborate on the development of the mobile app for clinicians and patients, and will discuss the data analytics methods. We have collected data on a sample of patients to evaluate the effectiveness of our mobile feedback system.
