Summary

This study aims to assess a mobile app called MAYA for use in middle-aged and older adults with anxiety or mood disorders. The MAYA app is designed to teach coping skills for anxiety and depression that are drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy. Participants will be asked to use the app for at least two days a week, 20 minutes on each day, for six weeks. Participants will have weekly check-ins as well as longer assessments at the beginning of the study, week 3, week 6 (end of treatment), and week 12 (follow up). During assessments, participants will answer brief questionnaires designed to assess their symptoms and impressions of the app. The main hypotheses of the study are that participants will complete most of the assigned sessions and that they will rate their impressions of the app highly. The secondary hypotheses are that symptoms of depression and anxiety will decrease with use of the MAYA app.

MAYA Mobile Application

The mobile cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) application, MAYA, teaches cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques including emotion monitoring, cognitive restructuring, mindfulness, exposure and psychoeducation (i.e. information about anxiety and depression). The application includes an interactive dashboard to provide the user with statistics for tracking progress toward their goals. Although the MAYA application is new, its content and structure are similar to how CBT- a well-established and widely used psychosocial intervention - is commonly delivered in the more traditional setting of a psychotherapist's office.
