Advancing Evidence-Based Understanding of Bipolar Functionality

BDORI supports and conducts independent research focused on improving real-world outcomes for people living with bipolar and depressive conditions. Our goal is to validate educational approaches that teach functionality, awareness, and stability across mood states.

Current Focus

We are working with academic and clinical researchers to:

  • Measure how education and structured self-assessment improve functionality and quality of life.
  • Analyze real-world data to identify early indicators of stability and relapse.
  • Develop metrics that move beyond symptom reduction to measure true functionality and introspective accuracy.

Collaborations

BDORI partners with universities, clinicians, and data scientists interested in:

  • Designing and reviewing IRB-approved studies.
  • Conducting independent validation using de-identified participant data.
  • Exploring integration of educational outcomes into digital health and insurance models.

Researchers interested in collaboration can contact us directly.

Past & Foundational Work

Our early studies have involved thousands of participants exploring functionality and self-awareness within bipolar conditions. These findings have guided the design of current research efforts and highlight the potential of education-based interventions to reduce crises and increase stability.
