Systems And Methods For Computer Implemented Treatment Of Behavorial Disorders
Systems And Methods For Computer Implemented Treatment Of Behavorial Disorders
US Patent:
2008010, May 8, 2008
Filed:
Nov 2, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/934574
Inventors:
Joanne Walker - Newton MA, US
Saul Rosenthal - Newton MA, US
Saul Rosenthal - Newton MA, US
International Classification:
G06F 11/00, G06F 17/00
US Classification:
726 1
Abstract:
A system and method are provided for treating excessive or problematic computer use. In at least one embodiment, a method is employed to treat excessive or problematic computer use by acquiring information about the unwanted user activity, monitoring user activity for the unwanted behavior, controlling the behavior when it occurs, enabling the user to record self-observations and evaluating the results. This method may employ a computer based system to treat excessive or problematic computer use which includes configuring a user activity monitor with constraints, programmatically enforcing those constraints, reporting the activities monitored and restricted, and enabling a user to input self-observations. Potential constraints include a complete bar on the user activity, as well as, progressively decreasing the amount of time the user may engage in the activity, i.e. titrating the user activity.
