Development and Feasibility of a Digital Acceptance and Commitment Therapy–Based Intervention for Generalized Anxiety Disorder: Pilot Acceptability Study
Overview
This pilot study describes the development and acceptability of a digital Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) prototype for Generalized Anxiety Disorder, integrated into the BioBase app platform. The resource details a two-phase feasibility evaluation involving 13 self-referred adults with GAD who used the app and a paired wearable for two weeks. It reports on usability ratings, participant feedback, and changes in anxiety, depression, psychological flexibility, and well-being scores from baseline to post-treatment.
