Circadian Rhythm for Mood (CRM®) is a prescription digital therapeutic and smartphone app designed to prevent and manage the recurrence of mood disorders (like major depression and bipolar disorder). It works by tracking your daily habits and predicting mood episodes before they occur. [1, 2, 3]
How CRM Works
- Life-Rhythm Tracking: It tracks behavioral metrics such as sleep patterns, meal times, and activity levels. [1, 2]
- Personalized Feedback: The app generates a customized “H-score” based on your circadian consistency and provides 3-day predictive mood forecasts. [1, 2, 3]
- Alert System: If your wearable data and survey responses indicate a high-risk trend for a manic or depressive episode, the app sends alerts and behavioral guidance. [1]
- Caregiver Integration: The app connects with a companion tool called CRM for Supporter, which allows authorized caregivers or clinicians to monitor the patient's data. [1]
Why It Matters
Research suggests that disturbances in the body's circadian rhythm often precede clinical mood episodes. By detecting these subtle behavioral shifts early, users and their care teams can take proactive lifestyle measures—such as adjusting sleep, activity, and light exposure—to stabilize their rhythms and maintain clinical stability.[1, 2, 3]
Clinical trials have shown that CRM users experience less frequent and shorter mood episodes compared to non-users. [1]
