TRD · Remission tracking
Measure TRD remission as it actually unfolds.
Remission is the goal in treatment-resistant depression, but it is usually measured with scales administered weeks apart. That cadence misses how durable a remission really is, and whether early erosion is setting in between assessments.
Remission measured too rarely
Measurement-based care depends on data, yet in practice the data is a PHQ-9 or MADRS every several weeks. A patient can meet remission criteria on the day of the visit and still be drifting in between. Sparse measurement makes it hard to know whether a remission is stable or fragile.

How Emobot tracks TRD remission
Continuous measurement-based care
An objective score updates daily, extending measurement-based care into the gaps between formal assessments.
Test remission durability
See whether a remission is holding steady or quietly eroding before the next scheduled scale.
Objective complement to scales
Correlated with both MADRS and PHQ-9, it adds an objective layer without replacing your existing instruments.
No patient burden
Passive after a 3-minute setup, so the added measurement costs the patient nothing.
The evidence
- Validated across 11 clinical studies against gold-standard scales.
- Continuous data versus a single point every several weeks.
- On-device facial processing; raw biometrics never transmitted.
Frequently asked questions
How is remission usually measured in TRD?
Typically with periodic scales such as the PHQ-9 or MADRS administered weeks apart. This captures status on the day of the visit but misses the trajectory in between, which is where fragile remissions reveal themselves.
How does continuous tracking help with remission?
It extends measurement-based care into the gaps between assessments, so clinicians can see whether a remission is durable or starting to erode, correlated with MADRS at r=0.89.
Does it replace standardized scales?
No. It is an objective complement that fills the time between scales; the PHQ-9 and MADRS remain your periodic anchors.
