This workshop at the 18th Annual CyberPsychology and Cybertherapy conference will investigate computerized coaching applications that support health assessment, therapy, lifestyle changes etc. eCoaches are intelligent computer agents implemented in mobile apps, on websites, or as standalone applications that provide mental coaching to promote health, well-being and the prevention of illness. Researchers, developers and health professionals will present and discuss their latest work, with a focus on elements such as clinical, cognitive, emotional and ergonomic aspects on issues as acceptance, motivation, trust, adherence, usage, experience of eCoaches, but also effective ways to design and evaluated them. A fundamental research question in this area is: how effective and in what manner an intelligent agent can provide psychological assistance in a health intervention? Importantly, the workshop not only focuses on mental health illness but also at computer support for psychological aspects of other types of illness and healthy living in general, for example supporting individuals to change their behaviour to adopt a more healthy life style. The workshop seeks to attract researchers, designers, and practitioners interested in understanding good design and the effects of e-coaching in the health domain. Workshop participants could come from a variety of backgrounds such as computer science, psychology, design, and psychiatry. The main objective of the workshop is to strengthen this growing community within this research area, thereby allowing a lively exchange of ideas with the aim of supporting the research of the workshop members, as well as working towards the publication of a special journal issue.

 

Workshop focuses on eCoaching in health domain considering illnesses such as depression, anxiety disorders, sleep disorder but also supporting lifestyle changes such physical exercising, healthy eating, or enhancing resilience.

- Computer assisted CBT
