I-Corps: Self-adherence and Self-motivated Training for Dealing with Post-Traumatic Stress: A Smartphone Solution

正念减压（MBSR）最初是一种减轻疼痛和疾病患者压力的实践。对正念减压及其好处的研究不仅仅是减压。实践正念减压已经被证明可以提供更好的注意力，可能调节皮质醇水平，提高生活质量等等。从历史上看，在认知治疗期间，患者在离开治疗时练习教授的工具是很重要的；然而，确保依从性和正确应用这些工具往往留给患者，他们的解释和记忆。该团队建议将目前在线的正念减压干预项目转化为移动应用产品，以辅助临床治疗和认知治疗。所提出的移动应用程序可被治疗师用于补充其患者的认知治疗培训。正念减压疗法对创伤后应激障碍和其他焦虑症的治疗有帮助。拟议中的应用程序将帮助治疗师与客户建立联系，并跟踪进展。它还将确保客户在日常监测和改进中得到充分的指导。该应用程序还将被设计成一个开放的系统，以不断更新并纳入从研究中确定的有效干预组件。许多人由于污名化、社会认知或可能缺乏途径而不会出面寻求精神障碍方面的帮助；因此，这个移动应用程序可能提供新的工具来应对并打开进一步治疗的大门。核心客户端应用程序开发将建立在一个不可知论的移动软件开发平台。利用不可知的平台构建将使应用能够在多个移动操作系统（OS）上同时或几乎同时快速无缝地发布。这种类型的开发打开了通往更大客户群的通道。

Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) started out as a practice to reduce stress in patients with pain and illnesses. Research into MBSR and its benefits go beyond stress reduction. Practicing MBSR has been shown to provide better focus, possible regulation of cortisol levels, quality of life improvement to name a few. Historically, during cognitive therapies it is important for the patient to practice the tools taught when away from therapy; however, ensuring adherence and correctly applying the tools are often left to the patient, their interpretation, and their memory. This team proposes to take the current online MBSR intervention program and turn it into a mobile application product that will assist clinical treatment and cognitive therapy. The proposed mobile application may be used by therapists to supplement cognitive therapy training for their patients. MBSR is useful for invention on PTSD and other anxiety disorders. The proposed app will help the therapist to connect to clients and track the progress. It will also ensure that the clients receive sufficient guidance in their daily monitoring and improvement. The app will also be designed into an open system to continuously update and incorporate effective intervention components identified from research. Many people due to stigma, societal perception, or perhaps lack of access will not come forward for assistance for mental disorders; thus, this mobile application may provide new tools to cope and open the door to further treatment. The core client app development will be built on an agnostic mobile software development platform. Utilizing an agnostic platform build will align the app to be able to be released quickly and seamlessly on multiple mobile operating systems (OS) at or near the same time. This type of development opens access to a larger customer base.
