Hand-held Psychotherapy Artefacts
Year: 2005
Type: article
Abstract: This paper presents a couple of components, within the SCOPE tool-set, that support psychotherapy processes on mobile and consultation settings. The first one provides to the patients the required access to psychotherapy artefacts, enabling an adequate and tailored aid and motivation for fulfilment of common therapy tasks. The second one offers to the therapists the ability to define and refine the artefacts, in order to present, help and react to the patient according to his/her specific needs and therapy status. Both components run on a PDA base and were developed within a contextual design approach. Preliminary evaluation results are available that validated some of the choices (e.g. PDA based choice, auto-fill fields, patient incentives), and indicate future directions and improvements (e.g. definition of incentive scales and adjustment, other therapist-consultation devices).
