Abstract
Abstract—Agoraphobia is a mental illness that makes sufferers excessively afraid of succumbing to anxiety or being unable to receive treatment when they need it. Patients who have a strong fear of waiting in line or standing in a bar or unable to leave their homes, entering a crowded area, or even going to the local convenience store, fear strangers, and fear of sudden incidents are called agoraphobic. It is difficult and extremely hard to evaluate, diagnose, and treat someone who has agoraphobia. Smartphones may be helpful in the management and treatment of agoraphobia because of advancements in information and communication technology. Communication, social interaction, health, hyperventilation, and stress problems are all symptoms of agoraphobia. To better understand how technological advancements can help with the early identification and treatment of the illness. Method: the study's purpose is to undertake a detailed literature review of done experiments to treat disease and the usage and functionalities of mobile applications. The biggest literature review we held included 140 articles. After a questionnaire, only those Applications are considered which are found to meet the requirements. The search turned up a total of 50 applications, of which 20 were deemed beneficial for phobias, and 30 were created specifically for phobias (including Informative, Evaluation, and Therapy Apps). Results: a big and deep analysis containing a review of 81 expert articles and 50 mobile applications revealed that future research is required to validate these technologies and needs more controlled experiments with a larger sample size. We conclude that by providing IT training to the agoraphobic individual, we may aid in their mental transformation, break destructive thinking patterns, and replace their initial apprehensive forecasts with optimistic ideas and self-assured personalities. As practice makes perfect, exposing the agoraphobic individual to such circumstances and things might also aid in helping them get over their anxiety. It's also quite easy to accomplish because modern cell phones provide a wealth of information, communication, and social skills that an agoraphobic person could find valuable. Conclusion: we reviewed literature and a detailed description of the numerous smartphone and desktop apps designed particularly for agoraphobic people to lower their degree of terror and help them feel at ease and protected. We list all gaps and challenges to teach and educate patients who are agoraphobic, through applications anticipating patient requirements and disease levels, assessing communication, and writing abilities, and enabling the recording of various activities or tasks accomplished by the patients.
