MOODO – Clinical registry

The registry of behaviors, situations and emotions it’s a frequent task in psychotherapy. A sheet of paper, a pen and a table are necessary. Engagement to this task is difficult. Registration is not practical:

- I forgot the paper!
- I do not have the time to write it on paper.
- There were many people around me.
- I lost the paper with the records...

The MOODO solves these problems

The collection of clinical records in psychotherapy it's a problem due to the difficulty of registry adherence. This undermines the outcome of the psychotherapeutic process. Many therapists deal with the difficulties of collecting content about the emotional states of their patients. The MOODO is an application for Android mobile platforms, for the patient, intended to assist the collection of medical records based on a cognitive therapy model. This application aims to facilitate the registration of situations, behaviors, emotions and their confrontations. The MOODO is an easy to use app, incorporating mechanics and game design elements in non-gaming context (gamification) to increase the motivation and effectiveness of registration.

This is a self-help tool for behavioral, emotional and cognitive change.

On the basis of the construction of this application is the model of Albert Ellis believing in a more rational approach to psychotherapy. His method proved to be the foundation of what we now know as cognitive therapy. The ABC model refers to three components of a situation in which the therapist and client can verify if your belief system is distorted.

This designation refers to ABC: A for the activation of agent. This event is what we can describe objectively. B of " belief " (belief), that it’ s what we consider truth about the event, C is the consequent emotion.

This application continues to allow the east therapist, helps reshape, explore situations. This application replaces the original tool on paper.
