Research Article: Lessons learned from a multimodal sensor-based eHealth approach for treating pediatric obsessive-compulsive disorder

Date Published: 2024-09-24

Abstract:
Introduction: The present study investigates the feasibility and usability of a sensor-based eHealth treatment in psychotherapy for pediatric obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and explores the promises and pitfalls of this novel approach. With eHealth interventions, therapy can be delivered in a patient's home environment, leading to a more ecologically valid symptom assessment and access to experts even in rural areas. Furthermore, sensors can help indicate a patient's emotional and physical state during treatment. Finally, using sensors during exposure with response prevention (E/RP) can help individualize therapy and prevent avoidance behavior.
