“…This was a multidisciplinary study involving academics from general practice, nursing, sleep science, psychology, social science, and human-computer interactions, affording a range of perspectives. 38 The study recruited from one area of the UK, which may not reflect experiences elsewhere, but the authors are confident that their methods generated conceptual generalisability. 39 Comparison with existing literature Professionals and patients in this study wanted CCBT-I to be accredited, noncommercial, regularly updated, and user friendly.…”

Background\ud Insomnia is a common psychological complaint. Cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), although effective, is little used because of lack of trained providers. Computerised CBT-I (CCBT-I) may be a solution to this shortfall in access.\ud Aim\ud To explore patient and health professional perspectives and the role of social networking, to develop a novel CCBT-I programme to increase access to this form of intervention.\ud Design and setting\ud Qualitative methods underpinned by the theory of planned behaviour in primary care in Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire.\ud Method\ud Semi-structured interviews and focus groups with a purposive sample of health professionals and adults with insomnia.\ud Results\ud A total of 23 health professionals and 28 patients were interviewed. Features designed to engender trust and improve functionality were perceived to improve uptake and adherence to CCBT-I. Trust lay in programme accreditation; for professionals, trust derived from evidence of effectiveness; for patients, trust depended on the doctor-patient relationship, professional support, the quality of online peer support, and perceptions of risk. Patients wanted mobile applications; access in short periods; self-assessment; interactive, personalised information on sleep; and moderated contact with other users. Patients and practitioners differed over whether useful information could be distinguished from less useful or potentially incorrect information.\ud Conclusion\ud Improving uptake and adherence to online programmes for insomnia requires design features focusing on trust and functionality. Enabling greater patient control and interaction with other users and professionals may stimulate positive experiences of online therapy. CCBT-I would enable greater access to treatment but is limited by lack of online access or poor computer literacy

Handbook of Research on User Interface Design and Evaluation for Mobile Technology

The advent of mobile technology has brought computing to a wide range of new contexts, some of which are highly sensitive and place new constraints on the designer. In this chapter we discuss issues related to the design and evaluation of mobile software for sensitive situations where access to the end-user is extremely restricted. We focus on the specific example of technological interventions that support adolescents in mental health care settings. We examine the practical and ethical constraints placed on access to end-users and contexts of use, and how this may affect approaches to design and evaluation. General design recommendations for this area are described. We consider approaches to iterative design with mental health care professionals, and how research on technological and therapeutic aspects may proceed in tandem. We identify methods that can be used when conducting evaluation in these limited situations and describe a methodology for maximising the value of such evaluation. By way of illustration, we present the design and evaluation of a mobile phone-based "mood diary" application designed for use in clinical situations by adolescents undergoing mental health interventions.

“…Recent HCI research on emotional health has explored systems such as computerised CBT [6], virtual reality [6], relational agents [2], mobile systems [13] and computer games [7]. We will welcome papers offering new perspectives on each of these areas, but also invite papers addressing new possibilities, including:…”

The World Health Organisation has concluded that emotional wellbeing is fundamental to our quality of life. It enables us to experience life as meaningful and is an essential component of social cohesion, peace and stability in the living environment [21]. This workshop will bring together a diverse community to consolidate existing knowledge and identify new opportunities for research on technologies designed to support emotional wellbeing. The workshop will examine uses of technology in mental health settings, but will also consider the importance of emotional needs in physical healthcare and wellbeing more generally. The design of technology to provide social support and to extend traditional care networks will be key workshop themes.
