Abstract

In this paper we propose a new approach for mental e-health treatments named intelligent e-therapy (e-it) with capabilities for ambient intelligence and ubiquitous computing. The proposed e-it system supposes an evolution of cybertherapy and telepsychology tools used up to now. The e-it system is based in a knowledge base that includes all the knowledge related to the disorder and its treatment. We introduce the use of ontologies as the best option for the design of this knowledge base. We also present a fist e-it system for obesity treatment called etiobe.
