Technology plays an essential part in improving mental health interventions given the advantages of improved effectiveness and accessibility.

Technology-assisted cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) showed promising outcomes for improving engagement, adherence, and symptoms of psychiatric disorders compared to conventional in-person CBT, a study published in the 'Journal for ReAttach Therapy and Developmental Diversities’ delineated.

Ankita Jawar et al. aimed to examine the efficacy of traditional CBT and tech-assisted CBT therapies used for the treatment of psychological disorders, such as anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Five hundred people with different psychiatric diagnoses were randomized to receive either the traditional CBT or CBT with tech. The Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7), Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist (PCL-5), and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) were used for before and after-intervention evaluations.

An examination of metrics concerning engagement and compliance was also done. Both treatments significantly reduced the symptom's severity. In contrast, the CBT group utilizing technology exhibited slightly greater improvements across all evaluation measures. The group with technology integration demonstrated increased engagement metrics, indicating that the study participants accommodated with the intervention more frequently.
