eMeistring depression treatment
The main aim of this case is to increase the use and effectiveness of the guided internet-delivered treatment in eMeistring. The current treatment is effectiveness, but we also find that 38% do not complete the treatment in its current format (Nordgreen et al., 2019).
Two lines of work will try to incease the use and effectiveness of guided internet-delivered treatment in eMeistring. At the eMeistring clinic the recruitment process will be evaluated and if necessary improved. Furthermore, the eMeistring clinic will provide more frequent support through the secure message system at the beginning of the treatment. Finally, there will be an increased focus on depression treatment during supervision. In the context of Intromat the main aim is to increase the usability for the patients in the portal. This includes understanding current usability barriers for the patients such as too much text and a lack of coherence and intuitiveness in the portal. Depending on the user needs, this work may also include development of a dashboard and an app for behavioral activation.
In 2020 the main focus will be on understanding user needs and software development.
