Popis: This paper describes WEBECOOL, a hybrid web/mobile application with the purpose of improving the self-management of anxiety disorders. The development of WEBECOOL was driven by a multidisciplinary collaboration between computing engineers, psychologists and psychiatrics. The first stage of the web/mobile application test was performed to assess the satisfaction with the technological proposal. Also, several components were identified as crucial and were employed in WEBECOOL: stress management, problem solving, medication adherence, symptoms monitoring and social interaction. WEBECOOL also pretends to include caregivers in the process, with the purpose of implementing better help therapy strategies.
