Hi John
I have been running a 12 month RCT of an online program for people with bipolar disorder.The study program was developed from psychoeducation/CBT materails and involved online mood monitoring and sceduled sessions. The platform we used was developed by www.Sentiens a private health provider with expertise in online disease management systems. I'd be happy to discuss in more details next week. cheers
