OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Bipolar disorder-specific psychotherapy combined with pharmacotherapy decreases relapse risk to new mood episode onset, but psychotherapy is not easily accessible. Smartphone-based interventions provide a means to increase access to empirically supported strategies for bipolar disorder self-management while also providing an opportunity to increase the efficacy of these strategies by using real-time assessment and adaptive feedback. This presentation will address the design and development of a smartphone-based self-management intervention for individuals with bipolar disorder, the outcomes of a recent randomized clinical trial of the intervention, and potential mechanisms underlying these outcomes. In addition, as a guide to the ongoing iterative person-centered development of these types of interventions, participants’ patterns of engagement with the intervention and their feedback about the intervention will also be presented.
