Abstract

Smartphones have opened a new world of opportunities in the context of health care. Particularly, they can be used in behavioral monitoring scenarios. This paper presents a system based on mobile and cloud computing technologies for managing multimodal and unstructured data in an ubiquitous and pervasive platform. The proposed system allows parents, teachers and tutors to collect information of children behavior. The proposed system aims to provide a technological tool for aiding psychologists and psychiatrists to perform evidence-based diagnosis and therapy as a strategy to improve the management of mental disorders in children and adolescents.
