defining personalized therapies for handheld devices
This paper presents a framework that provides psychotherapists with means to tailor specific therapies for their patients. Used artifacts can be easily adapted to the patient's problem, to his evolution rhythm, therapy stage or even to possible filling in situations. Furthermore, the artifacts can be configured to proactively adapt to the patient's behavior, according to previously defined rules, extending the therapist's motivating role. The framework ranges from desktop computers, to mobile devices (e.g. PDAs and TabletPCs) covering therapeutic tasks for both patient and therapist.
