Abstract:
Continuous Anger Level Monitoring (CALM) is a prototype for Android smartphones addressing the needs of persons with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) or emotion/impulse control problems. The application combines physiological monitoring and evidence-based group psychotherapy (Anger Management Therapy, developed by O’Reilly and Shopshire). CALM allows the recording of highly emotional and stressful events and helps to identify malfunctioning behaviors and patterns by creating awareness around one's own behaviors, triggers and coping strategies. The application integrates with the Zephyr BioHarness BT belt to allow for continues physiological monitoring, biofeedback and Respiratory Sinus Arrhythmia (RSA) breathing exercises.
