Evaluation of the efficacy of group cognitive behavioral therapy on anxiety in college students based on wearable devices and mobile applications: a randomized controlled trial
Overview
This randomized controlled trial evaluates the long-term efficacy of group cognitive-behavioral therapy for anxiety in college students, utilizing wearable devices and mobile applications to track physiological and ecological data. The study compares a treatment group against a wait-list control, measuring self-reported symptom severity alongside objective metrics such as heart rate, step counts, and mood assessments over 28 weeks. It is designed for researchers or clinicians interested in digital health interventions and the correlation between physical activity markers and anxiety treatment outcomes.
