简要总结
This pilot project will evaluate the potential of an affordable smartphone app to improve users' mental well-being.
详细描述
The goal of this pilot study is to evaluate whether a smartphone wellness application has the potential to improve anxiety and depression symptoms in people who otherwise would not have access to behavioral health care. In this pilot study, participants will include patients who present to an orthopedic specialist for chronic musculoskeletal pain and who also endorse elevated anxiety and/or depression symptoms. Patients who otherwise do not have access to adequate behavioral health resources will be eligible to enroll in the study. Through the study, participants will have two months of full access to a commercially available smartphone wellness application which offers resources such as cognitive behavioral therapy via an artificial chatbot, mindfulness and deep breathing training, and text-based access to a human well-being coach. Participants' baseline and 2-month follow-up anxiety and depression symptoms will be compared. Qualitative feedback regarding the user experience with the smartphone application will also be collected.
