Using On-Line Technologies to Identify and Track Early Warning Signs of Psychosis

Abstract

This research in progress examines ways to design on-line applications that help young people suffering from psychosis to identify and act on the early warning signs that indicate a potential relapse in their condition. It examines how proven treatments from face-to-face therapy can be incorporated in information systems design to create effective on-line or mobile therapy tools. It uses a multi-disciplinary approach to propose a design and testing program based on both psychological and usability principles.
