Project Topic
My clinical Scholarly project focuses on the prevalence of depression among adolescents in the American society.
This explores the issue of adolescents’ depression in American society, highlighting its impact on well-being, academic performance, social connections, and the risk of substance misuse or suicidal ideation. The study emphasizes the need for specialized therapies aligned with the preferences of today's tech-savvy and socially aware youth (Dally, 2021). The incidence and prevalence of adolescent depression present a worrisome trend, emphasizing the need for urgent intervention by use of some specialized app features.
Mobile Health App Feature
In addition to seeing a therapist, the patient can benefit from using the reset-O mobile medical application. According to Waltz (2019), this is a prescription-only app that is targeted to individuals struggling with depression. The application uses features of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to enable patients to recognize situations that cause behavioral and emotional responses which in turn trigger substance use and suicide ideation.
Platforms To Use App
It is intended for patients who speak English as the primary language, who have access to Android/iOS smartphones or tablets and know how to use smartphone applications. Users are required to upload data frequently and thus must have reliable internet access. Being a prescription-only app, one must first obtain a prescription from his/her clinician after which the patient is contacted by a patient care official from Reset Connect™ (Pear Therapeutics, Inc.) the developers of the app (Waltz, 2019). The patient care official then guides a patient through downloading the app from either Google Play Store or Apple App Store and provides an access code to unlock the app. One must have an access code to use this app.
Managing Depression with an O-Mobil Medical App
Upon setting up the app, a patient interacts with the product and answers questions about his/her hunger, mood, loneliness, and cravings. The information is conveyed to the supervising clinician who helps reinforce physician-patient interaction. The patient can compare weekly milestones. The app also features modules that a patient must complete. These modules use text, video, and audio to teach patients what to do when faced with various scenarios related to mental health condition. When a patient completes a module, he/she receives rewards which act as incentives to continue using the tool (Waltz, 2019).
