My mobile story: therapeutic storytelling for children
Abstract
This paper describes the design, evaluation and rationale behind a multimedia message service (MMS) based therapeutic system for adolescents attending therapy. The mobile phone is used to assist clients in engaging with therapy through the completion of structured therapeutic tasks. Content is gathered by the client with the phone, and browser-based software is then used to structure the content during a face-to-face therapeutic session. We discuss initial findings including the potential for engaging clients in remote therapeutic activities and the importance of client control over access to their content. We also consider several practical issues concerning the design and evaluation of software to be used in clinical settings.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
