随着更多的行为健康干预从传统平台转向数字平台，循证理论和技术的应用可能会带来双重优势。首先，它可以加快数字健康干预的发展，提高疗效，扩大覆盖范围。其次，将行为健康干预措施转移到数字平台为研究人员提供了推进理论和技术的新机会(潜在的范式转变)。特别是，通过利用数字平台通常生成和存储的“实时”客观测量和“大数据”的激增，使技术变革理论完善的潜力成为可能。要实现这一潜力，还可以做更多的工作。本文提出了更好地利用数字健康平台的潜在优势的建议，并回顾了实现这一目标的三种前沿方法：优化设计、动态系统建模和社会网络分析。
As more behavioral health interventions move from traditional to digital platforms, the application of evidence-based theories and techniques may be doubly advantageous. First, it can expedite digital health intervention development, improving efficacy, and increasing reach. Second, moving behavioral health interventions to digital platforms presents researchers with novel (potentially paradigm shifting) opportunities for advancing theories and techniques. In particular, the potential for technology to revolutionize theory refinement is made possible by leveraging the proliferation of "real-time" objective measurement and "big data" commonly generated and stored by digital platforms. Much more could be done to realize this potential. This paper offers proposals for better leveraging the potential advantages of digital health platforms, and reviews three of the cutting edge methods for doing so: optimization designs, dynamic systems modeling, and social network analysis.
