Summary
Cognitive behavioral therapy and social competences and skills training sometimes rely on in-situ activities to improve the patients’ condition. As the process evolves, therapists concede some autonomy to patients, allowing them to carry out those activities without the need for the former’s presence. The ability to remotely track patient’s activities provides an interesting solution to ensure their success, still encouraging their autonomy. This paper presents the design process and evaluation of a remote group monitoring and communication system for these two types of procedures. We use traditional group communication directives and augment them with geo-referenced information, empowering therapists with critical data to track their patients live and remotely. We describe the design process of a high-fidelity prototype and discuss the results from an experimental study that assessed the system from a usability and functionality perspectives. Results fueled an interesting discussion regarding how geo-referenced information help users maintaining awareness when multi-tasking.
