Passive monitoring · learns your baseline
Catch the shift while it's still small.
BipolarAware quietly reads the signals your phone and wearable already collect — sleep, movement, daily rhythm — and learns what's normal for you. When patterns start to drift, you get a calm heads-up. Optional check-ins and Scout sharpen the picture when you want them.
The hard part
An episode is far easier to handle early. The early signs are the hardest to see from the inside.
By the time a shift is obvious, you've often lost the window where small adjustments do the most good. Research shows activity and circadian changes can appear days before a full episode — but they're easy to miss from the inside. BipolarAware exists to surface that drift early, while there's still room to act.
The window
Same drift. Two very different outcomes.
The opening signs of a mood shift look the same whether you catch them early or miss them — but what happens next is not. A small adjustment while you're still steady costs far less than rebuilding after work, relationships, finances, and health have already taken the hit.
How it works
A quiet loop that runs on your behalf.
No daily homework. Your phone is the hub — it fuses passive signals, learns your personal baseline, and gets sharper the longer you use it.
It does this
It watches
In the background, it learns your normal — sleep timing, activity, heart-rate patterns, mobility, and the rhythm of your days — from signals your phone and watch already collect.
It does this
It flags, gently
When several signals drift from your baseline together, it gives a supportive heads-up — specific enough to act on, never an alarm or a diagnosis.
You do this
You decide
Glance and move on, add a ten-second check-in, loop in someone you trust, or take it to your clinician. You stay in charge of every step.
It does this
It learns you
Every day refines your baseline. You can confirm or dismiss alerts, and the system adapts — tailoring itself to how your episodes actually show up.
What it watches
Signals you already give off — read for you.
No single signal tells the whole story — but together, sleep, activity, rhythm, and communication patterns paint a picture research links to early mood shifts. BipolarAware reads the passive ones automatically; you choose what else to connect.
Sleep
When you fall asleep and wake, how long you sleep, and how steady your nights are — circadian disruption is among the earliest and most reliable tells.
Activity
Steps, movement, and how much you travel — restless surges or sudden stillness often show up before mood symptoms do.
Rhythm
The shape of your days — when you use your phone, how regular your routine is, and when communication patterns shift.
Your read
A quick check-in when you feel like sharing how today landed — it sharpens everything else.
OptionalMeet Scout — your vigilant, respectful guide.
BipolarAware watches passively. Scout is the voice that helps you understand what the data means — scroll down to see the live card animate as it walks through what changed and what you can do next.
Explains why something was flagged — sleep, activity, rhythm — against your personal baseline, not a generic threshold.
Helps you build a clear trend summary for appointments, so your care team sees objective changes alongside how you feel.
Supportive, never alarming. Scout nudges when something seems off — it doesn't diagnose, and you stay in control of every alert.
Heads up — your sleep and activity look different than usual this week.
That can sometimes come before a mood shift.
Worth a glance, not a verdict.
Protecting tonight's routine is the highest-leverage move.

A tool you let this close has to earn it. Analysis runs on your phone — not sold, not uploaded for processing. You choose what's monitored, pause anytime, and share only what you decide.
On your device
Your signals are encrypted and processed locally on your phone. Raw data isn't sent to our servers — and nothing is shared with anyone without an action you take.

Built on established science into circadian rhythm, activity, and passive sensing as early-warning markers — designed alongside clinicians and people who live with bipolar.
You stay in control
Pause monitoring, adjust what's tracked, confirm or dismiss alerts. BipolarAware is an early-warning companion — not a diagnosis, not a doctor, and never surveillance.
