Participants who signed up for the ISRII Throwdown! during registration will be placed in small groups to work together to conceptualize and storyboard a new eHealth intervention application. The winning group will be crowned ISRII Throwdown! Champions during the Closing Awards Session.
- Each participant is placed in a multidisciplinary group of ISRII meeting attendees. Participants include researchers, psychologists, clinicians, designers, developers, statisticians, entrepreneurs, and more. We will have an exceptionally rich group of participants and every attempt will be made to establish teams with a good mix of skill sets.
- In addition to having fun and meeting new people, the aim of each team is to come up with the best eHealth intervention for the chosen disorder.
- As a team, you need to decide what type of technology approach you think best for creating an intervention for this disorder. It might incorporate the use of the web, mobile, sensors, VR, or any other emerging technology you determine best. It might also be one or some of the following: self-help, group focused, human supported, automated, tailored, and based on a CBT, mindfulness, dynamic, or whatever orientation you all believe would be best.
- Your team should then work together to determine how best to present your eHealth intervention and will have 3 minutes during the Throwdown session to present your ideas. The audience will vote on a winner!
- Your team may present it in any way you choose, whether this be via a PowerPoint presentation, poster, intervention mockup, website, video, skit – you name it! But not a moment over 180 seconds!
