Brief Summary:
The immediate objective of this project was to demonstrate the feasibility of Remote Exercises for Learning Anger and Excitation Management (RELAX). The application is a remote, technology- enabled, anger treatment and management system based on current evidence-based CBT interventions. The project's objective was to show that RELAX (1) enables the practice of anger management strategies remotely through mobile phone interfaces; (2) integrates with evidence-based treatments through the implementation of an existing CBT anger management course; (3) provides information, direction, and feedback through physiological sensors and signal analysis; and (4) supports communication and direction by the therapist through a web-based therapist interface.
Detailed Description:
This project conducted a cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) anger management treatment groups with a Veteran population using the RELAX application, collected weekly feedback from participants, and collaborate with the Sponsor to document initial efficacy, feasibility, and safety of the RELAX system. Outcome domains included: 1) clinical outcomes (symptom severity, social functioning); 2) process outcomes (perception of treatment, satisfaction, group therapy alliance, treatment compliance, and attrition and treatment credibility); and (3) Technical feasibility of the RELAX application. Study clinicians were 1) trained to conduct baseline and follow-up assessments 2) trained to conduct the standardized Anger Management Therapy (AMT) protocol at acceptable levels of adherence and competence and 3) trained how to use the technology and how to respond to technical difficulties. Study clinicians tested the feasibility of the RELAX application and showed that it can be integrated with CBT anger management therapies and support therapist communication through the technology.
