aS1-S8: Session 1 to Session 8.

bNASA TLX: National Aeronautics and Space Administration Task Load Index. An overall task load index score was calculated as sum of 5 task load items: mental demand, temporal demand (eg, being rushed), effort, frustration and performance, each ranging 1 to 7. A higher scores reflected unfavorable greater demand.

cUEQ-S: User Experience Questionnaire Short Version. Survey responses were rescaled to the range –3 to 3 and UEQ-S total score were calculated as mean of survey responses. Total score values <–0.8 represent a negative evaluation, between –0.8 and 0.8 represent a neutral evaluation, and >0.8 represent a positive evaluation on each scale.

dWAI-Tech: Working Alliance Inventory-Technology Version. An overall score was calculated as item mean, ranging 1 to 7. A higher overall score reflected a more positive rating of working alliance.

ePHQ-9: Patient Health Questionnaire-9. PHQ-9 scores range from 0 to 27 with higher scores indicating more severe depressive symptoms.

fGAD-7: Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7. GAD-7 scores range from 0 to 21 with higher scores representing more severe levels of anxiety.
