Abstract(s)
Schizophrenic patients suffer a severe psychiatric disorder that impairs their cognitive
skills. They are frequently ostracized from society and their condition might lead them to isolation.
In order to provide adequate and sustained treatment to these individuals, psychological
interventions are being used as an adjunctive to medication. Some of these interventions imply the
learning and training of cognitive and social skills by patients. E-therapy is seen as the new
technical enabler of traditional therapeutic practices providing: access to an improved
communication channel with a therapist, more comfort and reducing the geographical distances and
costs associated to the illness. We describe an ongoing project – eSchi – a multimedia portal - that
is indented to be used in a psychiatric hospital in Barcelona as a complement to their traditional
learning and rehabilitation practices. The field work will provide the proof-of-concept for
monitoring the patient performance and the social interactions involved in the system.
