Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |

| The most important outcome measure of this study is “Speed of remission ”, which is a measure of the speed with which symptom reduction takes place as a result of the therapy. Since the costs of the applied interventions are known at the level of minutes, it is possible to calculate the costs of remote digital therapy. | — |
