CBT = Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
thoughts
feelingsbehavior
1. Identify critical behaviors
2. Determine if critical behaviors
are excesses OR deficits
3. Evaluate critical behaviors for
frequency, duration, or intensity
4. If excess, attempt to decrease.
If deficits, attempt to increase
behaviors.

It’s no longer adequate
to have an app layer,
even if you’re doing
CBT. I don’t think that
answers the real
problem within the
healthcare system.”

PRIVACY RISKS
Huckvale et al. BMC Medicine (2015) 13:214 DOI
10.1186/s12916-015-0444-y
Half of apps (50 %, n = 35/70) included strong
identifiers in transmitted information. Two-thirds
of these (66 %, n = 23/35, 29 % of all apps) sent
identifying information without encryption,
including email addresses (n = 5), account login
details (n = 5), full name (n=2) or date of birth (n=2).
22. @StevenChanMD
“CRITERIA” FOR DOCTORS
1 Use reputable institutions & verified
developers.
2 Try an app yourself first. If an
average person can use it —
prescribe it.
3 Informed consent on security,
privacy, and lack of testing is key.

Verily’s involvement signals their confidence in technology’s role in
one of the most underserved areas of medicine. Alphabet is actively
looking at augmented reality, diabetes, geriatrics, & AI in healthcare.
“Technology can cover much of the
diagnostic process ... Also, a lot of the
treatments for mental health are
psychosocial interventions, and those
can be done through a smartphone.”
