Therapy: Location-aware Assessment and Tasks
Source:
AH'2012: 3rd Augmented Human International Conference, ACM (2012)
Abstract:
In this paper, we present a system that allows therapists to
assess and engage patients’ in activities triggered by specific
stressing contexts. The system is composed by: 1) a web
application that the therapist uses to specify the activities and
its triggering conditions; and 2) a mobile app that measures
physiologic characteristics and challenges the patient to perform
the activities according to those conditions. This toolset is part
of an extended cognitive behaviour therapy framework. The
preliminary evaluation results are encouraging and indicate that
the system can be of use and usable for direct application in
therapy procedures.
