Psychiatric diagnosis is based mainly on questioning the patient and subjective impression rather than a quantitative assessment. The assessment is usually done with long time intervals between assessments and arbitrary in relation to the clinical course of the disorder. Post-traumatic stress disorder has physiological, physical, and behavioral manifestations. These changes appear as a response to different situations during the day and can be measured directly and indirectly in order to obtain an objective, quantitative and fuller picture of the severity and changes in the disorder. This is a non-interventional pilot study, using a system that collects data through wearable sensors and smartphone over a long period of time for patients suffering from PTSD and enables data analysis and characterization of a personal digital phenotype using a dedicated algorithm. Based on this pattern, the investigators will attempt to support the establishment of the PTSD diagnosis. During the course of the study, the therapeutic procedure will not be affected by the study and will be independent of the research.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| PTSD patients | Participants will attend clinical surveillance once every week or two. During the follow-up period, the participant will be checked as usual and will have to fill in questionnaires. Participants will be required to wear the smart watch at all times and will need to recharge it at least once every three days. Participants will be required to answer digital questionnaires twice a day via smartphone. |

| Correlations between data changes and PTSD clinical symptoms | Investigators will use a wearable smart watch to collect physiological data (Heart Rate, Cardiac Output, Blood Pressure, Respiratory Rate, Steps Counter, Electro-Dermal Activity) and will use psychiatric rating score (CAPS 5, CGI, PHQ-SADS) to determine changes in clinical symptoms. The investigators will look for correlations between the collected physiological data and the clinical symptoms according to the psychiatric rating scales | Three months |
