The system collects data from five channels one by one (the information collected from each channel is collected separately).

The data recorded from the various channels is saved on the tablet device. Then, the information transferred to the database using a cable. A statistical analysis of the data from the various channels is carried out in order to assess suicidal behavior.

After the statistical analysis, correlations will be examining between the results of the measurements and the results of the accepted questionnaires for the assessment of suicidality, which will be performed simultaneously.

Note that the duration of participation is the duration of the measurements, ie a single session that lasts up to two hours The duration of the participants in the study is determined by the time of the measurements, ie a single session lasting up to two hours.
