Method and system for dynamically generating therapeutic content based on the psychological state of a user of a digital therapeutic system

Abstract

An application user is granted access to one or more applications that provide the user with information and assistance. Through the one or more applications, the user is provided with interactive content, and data related to aspects of the user's interaction with the provided content is collected. The collected interaction data is analyzed to remotely identify and monitor changes or anomalies in the psychological state of the user. Upon identification of changes or anomalies in the user's psychological state, one or more actions are taken to assist the user.
