“…Across the different system functions, the most prevalent therapy cited was cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) -13 papers based their designs on CBT [12,31,41,53,89,107,130,131,144,147,157,176,182]. Other therapies cited include for example: Respiratory Biofeedback-assisted Therapy [43], Virtual Reality Exposure Therapy [29,87], Interpersonal Social Rhythm Therapy [110,117] and Emotion Regulation Therapy [72,113] There is space for more engagement with existing treatment methods or emotion regulation theories. This said, not all design explorations need to be based on an existing therapy method.…”

In the last decade, the number of articles on HCI and health has increased dramatically. We extracted 139 papers on depression, anxiety and bipolar health issues from 10 years of SIGCHI conference proceedings. 72 of these were published in the last two years. A systematic analysis of this growing body of literature revealed that most innovation happens in automated diagnosis, and self-tracking, although there are innovative ideas in tangible interfaces. We noted an overemphasis on data production without consideration of how it leads to fruitful interventions. Moreover, we see a need to promote ethical practices for involvement of people living with affective disorders. Finally, although only 16 studies evaluate technologies in a clinical context, several forms of support and intervention illustrate how rich insights are gained from evaluations with real patients. Our findings highlight potential for growth in the design space of affective health technologies.

“…Virtual Reality systems are effective tools to change human behavior in a wide variety of domains including training medical skils, education of children, military procedures, flying, but also the treatment of phobias through VR exposure therapy (see [22,29,19,26,28,2]). A key characteristic of these systems is that they are effective at inducing cognitive and behavioral changes for a relatively constrained and well-defined setting.…”

Abstract. In this paper we test the hypothesis that Virtual Reality (VR) negotiation training positively influences negotiation skill and knowledge. We discuss the design of the VR training. Then, we present the results of a between subject experiment (n=42) with three experimental conditions (control, training once, repeated training) investigating learning effects on subjects' negotiation skill and knowledge. In our case negotiation skill consists of negotiation outcome (final bid utility) and conversation skill (exploratory conversational choices in VR scenario), and negotiation knowledge is the subjects' quality of reflection upon filmed behavior of two negotiating actors. Our results confirm the hypothesis. We found significant effects of training on conversation skill and negotiation knowledge. We found a marginally significant effect of training on negotation outcome. As the effect of training on negotiation outcome was marginally significant and only present when controlling for overshadowing effects of the act of reflecting, we postulate that other learning approaches (e.g., instruction) are needed for trainees to use the information gained during the joint exploration phase of a negotiation for the construction of a bid. Our results are particularly important given the sparse availability of experimental studies that show learning effects of VR negotiation training, and gives additional support to those studies that do report possitive effects such as with the BiLAT system.

Even though much recent research has proposed systems that provide assistance and services to people, these systems emphasize the support of the physical aspects at the expense of emotional aspects. However, emotional health is as important as physical health. Moreover, negative emotional health can lead to social or mental health problems. People with good emotional health can control themselves and can address their negative emotions. However, people with bad emotional health feel difficult to control and decrease their negative emotions. Therefore the negative emotional health can lead to social and mental health problems. To cope with negative emotional health in their daily life, we proposed a new healthcare system that focuses on emotional aspects. The system integrates augmented reality to display virtual objects in real environments and Kinect, which allows users to freely interact with them. We also employ biological sensors to measure and detect user emotions, and provide three services based on expected emotions: relaxation, amusement and excitement services. We designed and implemented a small prototype for our relaxation service called: a breathing control application. This application applies deep breathing techniques of stress management to supports users when they experience stress from society or work as well as other negative emotions. This application displays a virtual music box to assist them breathe deeply because virtual objects and music might increase user relaxation and decrease their stress. We also evaluated this application by performing the experiment. The stress and relaxation of the participants are measured using salivary amylase test. As the result, the application can decrease their stress.
