The main objective of the proposed project is to create a therapeutic tool in the form of a mobile game Alivio that would help people with subsyndromal, mild to moderate obsessive-compulsive (OC) symptoms to alleviate symptoms (obsessions and compulsions) by using cognitive-behavioral therapy (KBT). The secondary objective of Alivio is to reach the general public and in an innovative way, through one's own experience, to familiarize with the typical symptoms of OCD disease and its subtypes. Alivio, together with a promotional campaign, could contribute to raising awareness of OCD disease that affects a significant part of the population and is not adequately addressed.
