Wearable Suicidal Early Warning System for Adolescents

Physiologic Parameters for Monitoring Adolescent Suicidality

This study is prospectively enrolling a cohort of adolescent patients who present to the Emergency Department and an inpatient psychiatric adolescent unit with acute suicidality.

This study is prospectively enrolling a cohort of adolescent patients who present to the Emergency Department with acute suicidality or are admitted to an inpatient psychiatric adolescent unit. The plan is to monitor basic physiologic parameters to assess for trends associated with suicidality noninvasively in an objective manner beyond subjective questionnaires currently available. Upon discharge they will be sent home with a noninvasive monitor to track physiologic parameters.

Inclusion Criteria:

• acute suicidality
• consenting individual present in the emergency department

Exclusion Criteria:

• medical admission for an ingestion or other reason
