Biometrics in Psychotherapy: Modeling, Mechanisms, and Efficacy

Sunday, May 28, 2023 · Washington, DC

Oral · Clinical Science

This symposium will examine the potential utility of computational and biometric tools including wearables, mobile apps, and augmented reality to better understand mechanisms of therapeutic change and predict treatment response. We leverage data from youth and adults undergoing exposure-based and mindfulness therapies for treatment of anxiety, posttraumatic stress, and irritability.
