Abstract
The fast developing mobile technology has been explored by a few scientists including psychologists in their research. Post-Trauma Mobile Service platform (PTMS) is a platform based on mobile phone, which delivers psychotherapy and related information. Users could evaluate their psychological status, get feedback and customize psychotherapy intervention materials as soon as their psychological test finished. The second part of this article is to evaluate PTMS in effectiveness, usability, feasibility and willingness to use PTMS. The descriptive analysis shows that most users enjoy using PTMS, consider it feasible and show great willingness to use in the future. It is suggested by one-way ANOVA analysis that compared with other users, physical disabled users think that PTMS is more effective and feasible, which may implicate that PTMS, as an adjunct of professional psychotherapy, should be offered to those who need psychological service.
