Total Brain San Francisco, California, United States
Session Description: One of the most important drivers of mental health and addiction rehabilitation is stress control. But accurately monitoring stress levels hasn’t been possible…until now. New technologies now make it possible to track heart rate variability (HRV), the best measure of stress, in real time. In this session, you'll learn how to leverage this technology to monitor, and even predict, stress in your patients. Further, you will learn specific adjunctive digital therapies, that can be deployed in real time to mitigate the impact of stress, and reduce cravings in the moment. These real time interventions help improve the chances of successful rehabilitation. (Data from a Total Brain study, n=1003, shows a 30% decrease in stress, a 27% decrease in anxiety and a 25% decrease in depressed mood for users who screened at risk for addiction AND completed 2+ hours of training with TB's self-care exercises.)
Learning Objectives:
After this activity participants should be able to
Apply new heart rate variability (HRV) technology to monitor, and even predict, stress in your patients.
List specific adjunct digital therapies, that can be deployed in real time to mitigate the impact of stress, and reduce cravings in the moment.
Describe how these real time interventions help improve the chances of successful rehabilitation.
