Acceptability of remotely supervised Home-Based transcranial direct current stimulation combined with Cognitive-behavioural-based app for peripartum depression: perspectives from women with lived experience and mental health professionals
Overview
This study explores the acceptability of a home-based transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) combined with a cognitive-behavioral therapy app for peripartum depression, gathering perspectives from women with lived experience and healthcare professionals. Participants generally viewed the intervention positively for supporting autonomy and accessibility, though they raised concerns about potential isolation from remote-only formats. The resource provides user-centered insights on integrating this technology into existing care models to improve engagement.
