Built by researchers, people with lived experience and healthcare providers.

The PolarUs app puts bipolar disorder research into the hands of the people who need it most. At the heart of the PolarUs app is our evidence-backed and globally-recognized Quality of Life in Bipolar Disorder scale, which helps people with bipolar disorder to measure and monitor their quality of life. The PolarUs app, however, is more than just a measurement system. It also empowers people to identify and apply evidence-based self-management strategies, with the goal of guiding them towards health and quality of life.
