Orexo is providing an opportunity for Saint Louis University School of Medicine students, interns, residents, and fellows to try two digital therapeutics — Deprexis® for depression/depressive symptoms and Vorvida® for assessing alcohol use — online via smartphone, tablet, or laptop/desktop computer.
Only you, as the program user, will be able to decide who will see your personal information. If you choose to take advantage of either or both programs, your participation will be completely anonymous, and your information will not be shared with anyone inside or outside the Orexo organization.
Your health care provider will not receive any information about you through Vorvida or Deprexis.
Vorvida and Deprexis take protecting personal data very seriously. The programs only ask you to provide personal data to improve their experience with the therapeutic. Personally identifiable data will not be given to third parties or be used for marketing purposes. All personal data is saved according to data protection regulations, and data transmission takes place over a secure HTTPS internet connection, which encrypts it.

Deprexis
Deprexis is based primarily on the methods of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). The overall aim is to teach patients useful skills that can be applied in everyday life to overcome depression. It contains 12 online modules in total — one introductory module, 10 content modules and one summary module — which help patients build coping skills to address negative thoughts, behaviors, social situations and problem solving.

In exchange for this service at no cost to SLU students and trainees, we ask that users of this digital therapeutic complete a pre- and post-survey about their experience using the therapeutic.
Vorvida
Please watch this Saint Louis University video, Alcohol Use and Self-Assessment for Medical Trainees.
Vorvida is a digital therapeutic. It has been designed for people who want to assess their alcohol use and may want to decrease their alcohol use. Harmful or problematic drinking is defined as drinking that results in physical or psychological harm. It often negatively impacts the drinker's life and health.
Vorvida personalizes delivery of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) tools and techniques to help individuals identify triggers, break negative behaviors, and develop healthier responses. By developing more self-awareness and additional skills, Vorvida can help someone drink less alcohol in as little as three months.
