Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Mayo Clinic Anxiety Coach is a smartphone application based on cognitive-behavioral treatment for anxiety disorders (i.e., exposure-based therapy) that can be used as 1) a stand-alone treatment requiring minimal provider contact, and 2) an augmentation of face-to-face treatment that increases clinician fidelity and patient adherence to evidence-based treatment. The design of Anxiety Coach is based on evidence and theory suggesting that information and communication technologies (ICTs) are well-suited for encouraging behavior change through 1) scheduled reminders to engage in therapeutic exercises, 2) point of performance support, 3) individually tailored information, 4) real-time symptom assessment, and 5) readily accessible asynchronous communication.
