Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif personnel pour diagnostiquer l'état mental d'individus et de groupes de personnes, comprenant un agencement pour l'évaluation d'état mental entrant (1) effectuée par la personne examinée, un indicateur optique (2), une horloge en temps réel (3), au moins un capteur (4) d'un paramètre biométrique de la personne examinée, un système de commande (5) avec un agencement de communication (6) pour la communication avec un dispositif de télécommunication mobile (7), une mémoire (8), et un système d'alimentation autonome (9). Selon l'invention, l'agencement pour l'évaluation d'état mental entrant (1) est équipé d'au moins une zone (10) activée par contact et/ou pression pour entrer l'évaluation d'état mental, positive ou négative. La valeur absolue de l'évaluation dépend de la durée du toucher et/ou de la pression. L'indicateur optique (2) est conçu pour afficher la valeur de l'évaluation d'état mental saisie, positive ou négative. Le système de commande (5) est conçu pour établir une interrelation entre l'évaluation d'état mental saisie et des informations acoustiques associées à l'évaluation et entrées par l'intermédiaire d'un microphone (11), et pour transférer l'évaluation d'état mental saisie conjointement avec des informations acoustiques associées à la mémoire (8) et/ou au dispositif de télécommunication mobile (7). Le système de commande est conçu pour déclencher une alarme vibrante (12) et/ou actionner au moins un indicateur optique (2) dans les intervalles de temps prédéfinis et/ou lorsqu'au moins un paramètre biométrique a été changé et/ou lorsqu'une évaluation d'état mental a été entrée.
