A Validation Study of the Neuro-cognitive Emotion Monitoring-Intervention (NEMO-I) Application in Adolescents
8 juli 2026 bijgewerkt door: Seoul Women's University
This study aims to evaluate the validity and effectiveness of NEMO-I (Neuro-cognitive Emotion Monitoring-Intervention), a mobile application designed to help adolescents monitor and manage their cognitive and emotional functioning in everyday settings. NEMO-I delivers evidence-based psychological techniques-such as mindfulness, self-regulation training, and emotion monitoring-in a gamified format consisting of seven brief activities that users can complete at home in about 10 minutes each.
A total of 140 middle and high school students will participate. Participants will complete standardized neuropsychological and psychological assessments before and after the intervention period. During the 21-day intervention period, participants will use the NEMO-I application at home each day at their convenience (a minimum of 10 minutes per day is recommended). By comparing pre- and post-intervention assessment results, this study seeks to determine whether the application produces meaningful benefits for adolescent mental health and to establish its suitability as a digital mental health tool.

Experimenteel: NEMO-I Intervention Group
Participants in this single-arm study use the NEMO-I mobile application at home for 21 days, at their convenience each day (a minimum of 10 minutes per day is recommended).
Cognitive and emotional outcomes are assessed before and after the intervention period.
|
NEMO-I is a mobile application that delivers evidence-based psychological techniques in a gamified format.
It consists of seven brief activities-including facial expression imitation, singing, breathing and stretching with nature sounds, reading tips for everyday concerns, rhythm-based instrument play, room decoration, and mindfulness-each designed to be completed at home in about 10 minutes.
Participants use the application daily during the 21-day intervention period, at their convenience, with a recommended minimum of 10 minutes per day.

Maatregel Beschrijving |
Tijdsspanne |
|---|---|---|
|
Change in depressive symptoms
Tijdsspanne: Baseline (pre-intervention) and after the 21-day intervention period
|
Depressive symptoms are measured using the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II), a 21-item self-report questionnaire.
Total scores range from 0 to 63, with higher scores indicating more severe depressive symptoms.
Change is assessed by comparing pre- and post-intervention scores.
|
Baseline (pre-intervention) and after the 21-day intervention period
|
|
Change in inhibitory control (Color-Word Stroop Test, CWST)
Tijdsspanne: Baseline(pre-intervention) and after the 21-day intervention period
|
Inhibitory control is assessed using the Color-Word Stroop Test (CWST), which measures the efficiency of the frontal-lobe inhibition process.
Performance is indexed by response time and error rate under the color-word interference condition.
Change is assessed by comparing pre- and post-intervention performance.
|
Baseline(pre-intervention) and after the 21-day intervention period
|
|
Change in anxiety symptoms
Tijdsspanne: Baseline(pre-intervention) and after the 21-day intervention period
|
Anxiety symptoms are measured using the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), a 21-item self-report questionnaire assessing the severity of anxiety-related symptoms.
Higher scores indicate greater anxiety.
Change is assessed by comparing pre- and post-intervention scores.

|
Change in neuro-cognitive and emotional function (NEMO-A)
Tijdsspanne: Baseline (pre-intervention) and after the 21-day intervention period
|
Neuro-cognitive and emotional function is assessed using the NEMO-A (Neuro-cognitive Emotion Monitoring-Assessment) application, a tablet-based, game-format assessment consisting of five subtasks.
It measures domains including sustained attention, working memory, emotional sensitivity, emotion processing and recognition, audiovisual emotional integration, cognitive control, and executive function.
Performance is indexed by accuracy and response time, and change is assessed by comparing pre- and post-intervention performance.
