About

The purpose of this study is to learn more about how feasible remote parent child interaction therapy (PCIT) is for children with disruptive behaviors and how to augment treatment with wearable devices.

Full description

Children with disruptive behaviors aged 3-7 will wear a Garmin watch throughout the course of the study (approximately 12 weeks). Artificial Intelligence (AI) will be applied to analyze the vitals provided by the watch to monitor for disruptive behavior. Parent and child will be enrolled in remote PCIT sessions throughout the course of the trial. This study will not require any in person visits, all materials will be mailed to the patients home or sent electronically. The study will analyze how the use of a wearable device throughout PCIT will help increase the benefit to both parent and child as measured by biometrics via Garmin and by questionnaires preformed throughout the trial.
