Understand the patient’s CBT Activities experience

The patient’s screen will show your chosen activity after you click Start. The activity will adapt to their screen size if necessary, i.e., if you are on a desktop and the patient is using a mobile, their view will differ slightly from yours for an optimal experience. You will be able to see when a patient clicks on a response - and if needed, you can also make selections on their behalf.

Both you and the patient can interact with the activity and see updates in real time. The experience may vary depending on the activity selected.

💡 Note: If you transfer a patient to another provider or room during a session, any active apps and activities in your session will close, and no session data will be shared. The receiving provider can open any apps they need to continue patient care.
