Abstract
Examined is the use of a current model of #interdisciplinary health care and the use of smart wearable technology for #self-monitoring behavior change with a patient receiving prescribed outpatient
counseling involving a registered dietician, health counselor and
clinical psychologist. An introduction to SMART technology along with a
relevant literature review is offered. It is hypothesized that the use
of a wearable self-monitoring device may be beneficial in achieving
behavioral compliance in a patient receiving mental health counseling.
An exploratory case study research design is employed to examine this
#hypothesis. Results suggest that wearable SMART technology is an
emerging adjunct effective intervention for improved health and
well-being as measured by health and wellness markers utilizing a
wearable SMART technology like the FitBit. Current limitations along
with future directions are discussed. Mental health counselors may
benefit from the utilization of wearable SMART technology as an adjunct
when treating patients who experience anxiety related to their medical
conditions. SMART technology has opened a new frontier in both physical and mental
health support and monitoring during counseling. SMART stands for
Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology. Mobile devices such
as smartphones, and tablets are giving the clients, health care
providers, and researcher's new ways to monitor progress, and increase
understanding of #health and wellbeing.
