Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
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.
