Description
Our paper aims to develop a web-based IT system based on a framework for CCBT and iCBT applications for the treatment of mild to moderate SAD diagnoses. We place our research in the intervention area of CCBT, where the facilitation of interaction with therapists in a non-threatening environment, peer interaction, and access to self-help and educational resources, will likely lead to changes in the perception of the self and a reduction of SAD symptoms in patients. This DSR proposal contributes with a novel requirements engineering and validation process through an adaptation of Activity Theory. It also leveraged the SAD model to derive a framework that caters to SAD patients. And lastly it provides an artifact that acts like a platform to deliver CBT that can be generalized to other disorders.
