Abstract

By replacing the hand-written 'thought records', used by Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) patients, with a Wearable audio journal that works in tandem with a smartphone, we can help patients capture their automatic thoughts at the moment of its occurrence and facilitate in the posterior analysis of the data along with the therapist. Speech provides richer clues about the emotional state of mind of the patient and thus could possibly help in better therapy.
