The purpose of this study is to learn more about how feasible remote parent child interaction therapy (PCIT) is for children with disruptive behaviors and how to augment treatment with wearable devices.
Children with disruptive behaviors aged 3-7 will wear a Garmin watch throughout the course of the study (approximately 12 weeks). Artificial Intelligence (AI) will be applied to analyze the vitals provided by the watch to monitor for disruptive behavior. Parent and child will be enrolled in remote PCIT sessions throughout the course of the trial. This study will not require any in person visits, all materials will be mailed to the patients home or sent electronically. The study will analyze how the use of a wearable device throughout PCIT will help increase the benefit to both parent and child as measured by biometrics via Garmin and by questionnaires preformed throughout the trial.

How wearing a Garmin watch will help the remote PCIT clinical outcomes
Biometrics from the Garmin watch will be analyzed through Fitabase: step count, activity intensity, calories, heartrate, and respirations. This data will be compared throughout the study to see if factors trend down by the end of the trial. This would indicate that the child's behaviors were calmer at the end of the therapy when compared to the beginning.
Time frame: Through study completion, approximately 2 years
Number of participants able to wear the Garmin watch throughout remote PCIT
The study will measure how often participants are wearing the device by monitoring two platforms that are paired with the watch: Fitabase and Ilumivu. These platforms inform the study team with wear time of the watch by the participant. A measurement of at least 70% of the time will be deemed feasible/acceptable for young patient's ability to wear the watch during therapy.
Time frame: Through study completion, approximately 2 years
Evaluating parental acceptance of remote PCIT augmented with a Garmin device
At the end of therapy, the parent will receive an emailed survey asking about their opinions of the study technology and how it added to their child's therapy experience.
Time frame: Through study completion, approximately 2 years
Evaluating clinical improvement from remote PCIT in regards to sleep
The study will collect parental rating scale measures of their child's sleep (PSQ). These reports will be collected weekly and will be compared throughout the course of therapy to see if parental reports of sleep gets better (length of time child is in bed and sleeping increases by the end of therapy).
Time frame: Through study completion, approximately 2 years
Evaluating clinical improvement from remote PCIT in regards to parental reports of behavior accuracy of indirect behavioral measures from wearable devices to parental ratings
This platform is for informational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional.
The study will collect weekly parental ratings of their child's behavior (ECBI). These reports will be compared throughout the course of therapy to see if reports of the child's behavior is getting better throughout therapy.
Time frame: Through study completion, approximately 2 years
Evaluating measured sleep data throughout remote PCIT
The Garmin device will measure sleep cycle data (deep sleep, light sleep, REM sleep and hours awake). This data will be analyzed throughout participation to see if overall sleep time and quality increases with the amount of time spent in therapy.
Time frame: Through study completion, approximately 2 years
