My Cosmos: development, clinical protocol, and preliminary usability of a gamified transdiagnostic digital CBT platform
Overview
This paper describes the development and preliminary usability evaluation of My Cosmos, a gamified digital CBT platform designed for anxiety, depression, or mixed symptoms. The resource outlines the program's structure, which integrates first-wave CBT with second- and third-wave approaches within a game-inspired framework, and details its implementation via clinician dashboards for blended care. Usability findings from student and professional participants indicate the platform is viewed as intuitive and supportive of self-regulation, though professionals emphasize the need for clear onboarding and data transparency.
