Smartphones have now become a device that everyone uses in day to day activities.
Moreover, thanks to their built-in sensors, they can successfully determine the user’s
location, perceive the real-world and act upon those stimuli. In the previous years, a
location-based and context-aware platform to support the treatment of patients with
psychological disorders was developed at GEOTEC, a Spanish research group in
Geospatial technologies. This platform consists of a mobile application that monitors the
patient’s behavior and delivers interventions, and a web-based application that allows
therapists to define and steer the monitoring and intervention process. Concretely, the
platform tracks the users location and visualizes it for the therapist. This thesis proposes
an extension to the Symptoms platform, in two ways: to allow location- and time-based
triggered questionnaires, to further assess the patients psychological state in-situ and in
real time, and to extend the current location-based notifications system to use the same
context—based triggers to further assist psychotherapeutic interventions. To this aim,
the Symptoms administration web application is extended to allow therapists to create
extended context-based triggers (e.g., based on time/duration and location), to be used
to trigger questionnaires (assessment) and notification (treatment). Furthermore, the
web application is extended to collect, store and visualize the feedback sent by the
patients to support therapists to make informed decisions. Next to the web application
for therapists, the Symptoms mobile app is also extended to allow notifications and
questionnaires to be displayed (when context conditions are met), and responded to by
the patient. The proposed extensions are evaluated both technical and regarding usage
(usefulness, usability). As a result, the mobile app and web-based application were found
to be usable with SUS score of 86.75 and 75 respectively. The web app is found to be
useful for the therapists to help assess and treat patients, and better understand patient’s
behavior. [-]
