\n<\/strong>When delivered by experts, CBT is considered the best treatment for these patients, but it can be expensive, difficult to access, and time-consuming. To address this, and in light of emerging evidence<\/a> that self-help adaptations of CBT can be similarly effective, our team decided to look into treating these patients via a smartphone app that incorporates a trained coach: the Noom Monitor. We found<\/a> that those who used the app had a higher incidence of adherence to their treatment program.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>1. Call (212) 659-8724 or email ewdpresearch@mssm.edu<\/a> to schedule a brief initial screening.
\n2. During the screening, we will assign a personal CBT coach and give you a password for the app.
