GENET-GPD: A documentation tool to digitally collect longitudinal ECT treatment data and associated biosignals

Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is the most effective nonpharmacological treatment for severe depression and other serious mental disorders [1]. It has broad syndromal efficacy in multiple domains, e.g. having antidepressant, antipsychotic and mood stabilizing effects [2]. Nevertheless, the emergence of side effects could still be reduced and factors influencing both efficacy and side effects still demand investigation [1] (see Fig. 1).
