Embedded Digital Interventions into Everyday Life: Measuring Mood with Wearable Technology

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Most mental health problems persist over long periods of time, so any self-help tools should also be used regularly and for a long time. This PhD will explore the challenges and opportunities of using ubiquitous technologies to more richly interleave mental health interventions with the patterns of daily life to naturally achieve this. The spread of first mobile and now ubiquitous computing as well as the Internet of Things into daily life is drastically reshaping when and where we encounter digital technologies. This might have profound consequences for how we deliver mental healthcare interventions, for example in which digital technologies engage us frequently, regularly and at opportune moments. Cues to determine when and how interactions with a person should occur could be learned from personal data, and incremental learning could be used to adapt to each user over time.
