Key takeaways
- “Interventions that had integrated technology into clinical contexts to enhance treatment for anxiety and OC-spectrum disorders.”
- k = 117
- Not a meta-analysis of ICBT per se but tech as supplement to F2F therapy
- For OCD: Half used videoconfering, no VR.
First, what emerging innovations in treating anxiety and OC-spectrum disorders hold promise for clinical use? Second, what can researchers do to strengthen the evidence base for implementation?
Their recommendations
- Target a known problem in treatment. Focus on therapy processes rather than technology-for-disorder approach
- How can tech be used to do more than act as a substitute for existing CBT components? For example, gamified skills practice, biofeedback
- Report more than symptom change, like acceptability and cost
- Use existing tech where possible
