Mobile support for personalized therapies - OminSCOPE: Richer artefacts and data collection

Abstract

this paper presents OmniSCOPE, an environment for the development of mobile pervasive therapy artefacts. OmniSCOPE builds on SCOPE, a tool for the support of mobile psychotherapy. Given the positive results that emerged through the development and utilisation of SCOPE, extensions were developed in order to enhance the artefacts, the data collection by patients and its consequent analysis by therapists. These extend the usage possibilities to new situations and therapies also targeting a wider range of users. We detail the extensions and how they support new activities and therapies illustrated by three case studies in which they are being currently evaluated. We describe initial results and discuss future trends and directions.
