Abstract |
This chapter describes how innovations that are driven by proteomic biomarker techniques can facilitate earlier and better treatment of patients who suffer from psychiatric disorders. The application of new micro-fluidic devices along with miniaturized biosensors and transducers will enable the development of handheld point-of-care testing instruments which can analyse a drop of a blood within the time span of a single visit to the doctor's office. It is anticipated that these approaches will incorporate both biochemical and clinical information, resulting in unique profiles for each test subject. These profiles can in turn be used to drive personalized medicine approaches in this devastating disease area. In addition, smartphone applications (apps) for self-monitoring will see increasing use for improved patient outcomes. |
