Your Decision Making Aid

Features & Capabilities

Welcome to “You Decide”, and innovative app, developed by Evidence Based Therapeutic Technologies, as part of it’s series of evidence based therapeutic protocols.

Our mission is to harness the power of scientific research to enhance decision-making processes for everyone. 'You Decide' integrates the decisional balance matrix, a tool grounded in the Transtheoretical Model of Change, to facilitate thoughtful and well-informed decisions. Key features:

Decisional Balance Matrix: At the heart of 'You Decide' is the decisional balance matrix, an evidence-based framework that helps users weigh the pros and cons of their choices. This tool is inspired by the Transtheoretical Model of Change, which posits that decision-making is a process of change occurring through stages. This model, developed by Prochaska and DiClemente in the late 1970s, is a cornerstone in psychological research on change processes
Integration with existing evidence based treatment models: Our app uniquely combines the decisional balance matrix with principles from Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). Motivational Interviewing, a counselling approach, enhances motivation to change by resolving ambivalence. CBT, a well-established psychological treatment, aids in understanding the relationship between thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. By integrating these methodologies, 'You Decide' offers a comprehensive approach to decision-making
Research Backed Guidance: Each feature in 'You Decide' is built on a solid foundation of scientific research. Studies have shown that tools like the decisional balance matrix significantly improve the quality of decision-making. This ensures that our users are not just making decisions, but making better, more informed decisions
Personalised Experience: Recognizing that decision-making is a deeply personal process, 'You Decide' offers a tailored experience. Users can set their goals, preferences, and areas of focus, making each interaction with the app unique and relevant to their specific needs.
