webBART

Web version of the Balloon Analogue Risk Task (BART), with modifications for non-monetary data collection and added feature for visualizing an updated opponent's performance at each round.

Developed for use in psychological/psychiatric clinical practice in or out of sessions as a measure or monitor of risk-taking propensity, in a non-invasive, harm-free, ethics-compliant, and user-friendly way.

To run:

1. Open terminal window
2. Navigate to project root directory
3. Run following commands in order:

• npm install
• node bart_service.js

To play through the activity:

1. For Clinic Name, enter upper/lower case letters and/or spaces.
2. For Patient ID, enter two upper case letters and 4 digits.
3. Select a therapy session last completed, for which no playthrough has been recorded yet.
4. Follow the game instructions.
