Morpheus should be used by patients undergoing Behavioral Therapy with an in-sensu self-management module.
Morpheus should be used when the attending therapist or doctor incorporates it into the therapy and explicitly advices the patient to use Morpheus.
Morpheus can be used for all exposure-based therapies, especially for the following diagnosis:
ICD-10
With Morpheus, the therapy session can be recorded. The recordings are only stored locally on the smartphone. Highest data security is guaranteed.
The therapy sessions can be played back at any time. Data is collected continuously and can be discussed with the therapist in the next therapy session.
Stress regulation games can be used at any time, e.g. to distract from high stress and to regulate emotions during an exposure.
All skills are designed to appeal to different senses, but are not addictive.
During the use of Morpheus, statistics are collected via questionnaires. These can be discussed with the therapist during the therapy session. In this way, it is possible to react promptly in the event of unusual developments.
Morpheus was created in 2011 as part of a bachelor thesis. Since then, the app has been continuously developed and researched. Here is an excerpt of the most important studies conducted with Morpheus:

Each code can be used only once. Contact us if you need a second code, e.g. because you got a new phone.
