Abstract

The way in which patients are treated for depression has undergone a significant paradigm shift since the advent of ehealth and the mobile web. Patients of many socio-economic backgrounds have access to the World Wide Web and smart phone technologies. The pervasive nature of the mobile web enables therapists to adopt new methods for the treatment of depression. The provision of suitably adapted content management systems specifically tailored with ubiquitous treatment in mind is necessary to ensure that the patient receive expert treatment in a real world context. This paper discusses the ICT4Depression Database Module Maker which has been designed specifically to afford the therapist the opportunity to develop their treatments for use by the patient in a mobile and desktop context.
