TicTrainer.com

Target population: Patients with tics

Measures:  Tics / tic suppression 

Clinical support:  Monitoring, Treatment 

TicTrainer™ is inspired by Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) behavior therapy for tic disorders and research on tic suppression showing that immediate rewards for not ticcing increase tic suppression. TicTrainer™ provides immediate virtual rewards and other strategies inspired by video games (level up, goals that qualify for a visual "coin").

TicTrainer™ also provides a record of tic frequency and tic suppression ability that quantifies improvement over time. TicTrainer™ depends on someone other than the patient (e.g. a parent), who can reliably recognize tics. Additionally, TicTrainer™ has modifications to make it useful for research, both research on tic frequency and tic suppression and for clinical trials (using non-contingent reward as a control condition). The source code is available under an MIT license.
