Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary study parameter is the experience with the VRAPT-Arousal module. This study parameter is measured using both qualitative and quantitative measures. Qualitative data will be collected through semi-structured interviews, while the quantitative measure is composed of the Session Rating Scale (SRS; Duncan et al., 2003). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The secondary study parameters entail biomarker data from the wearable that patients wear during sessions, combined with the data from the Anger Bodily Sensations Questionnaire (ABSQ; Zwets et al., 2014) and the Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness (MAIA; Mehling et al., 2018). This data will be used to investigate the validity of using the Nowatch wearable as a measurement device for arousal and its corresponding biomarkers (skin sympathetic nerve activity and heart rhythm). | — |
