Summary

The investigators are proposing a prospective one-arm cohort study testing the feasibility of a game designed to improve symptoms in adults with mild levels of stress, depression, and anxiety. The study will take place at Madigan Army Medical Center. Primary outcomes include usage data including time, frequency and duration of app use, participant satisfaction with the game, and comments and suggestions regarding participants' experiences using the Sinasprite game over a 12-week period. Participants will download Litesprite's game, Sinasprite, onto their personal smartphone. Elements of cognitive-behavioral therapies like cognitive strategies, diaphragmatic breathing, and visualization are embedded in the game enabling participants to learn to achieve the desired healthy habits. The game's goal is to help Socks the Fox become a Zen Master. Over six weeks, players help Socks to progress by describing and categorizing their concerns, entrusting Socks to "hold" these concerns, and engaging in bonding activities with Socks, such as fishing and meditation. The investigators currently have a prototype and have been told by insurance firms, providers, and self-funded employers that they need to see validated results from a pilot study that shows feasibility with subjects in the target audience before they can consider a commercial roll out. Participants will complete questions related to mood, stress, and well-being at baseline, 6 weeks, and 12 weeks. Data will be evaluated in real-time and reports of participant progress will be provided to the participant's provider, with the participant's consent. Data and feedback from this pilot study will be used to update the design and inform the technical development team to further refine the game experience in preparation for a larger randomized controlled trial evaluating the effectiveness of Sinasprite.
