For many years, psychiatrists have tried to understand factors involved in response medications or psychotherapies, order personalize their treatment choices. There is now a broad and growing interest the idea that we can develop models decisions using new statistical approaches from field of machine learning applying them larger volumes data. In this pursuit, there has been paradigm shift away experimental studies confirm refute specific hypotheses towards focus on overall explanatory power...

High prevalence of mental illness and the need for effective health care, combined with recent advances in AI, has led to an increase explorations how field machine learning (ML) can assist detection, diagnosis treatment problems. ML techniques potentially offer new routes patterns human behavior; identifying symptoms risk factors; developing predictions about disease progression; personalizing optimizing therapies. Despite potential opportunities using within health, this is emerging...

Background Designing technologies that users will be interested in, start using, and keep using has long been a challenge. In the health domain, question of technology acceptance is even more important, as possible intrusiveness could lead to patients refusing try them. Developers researchers must address this not only in design evaluation new care but also across different stages user’s journey. Although range definitions for these exists, many conflate related terms, field would benefit...

Objective To evaluate the feasibility of automatically assessing Social Rhythm Metric (SRM), a clinically-validated marker stability and rhythmicity for individuals with bipolar disorder (BD), using passively-sensed data from smartphones. Methods Seven patients BD used smartphones 4 weeks passively collecting sensor including accelerometer, microphone, location, communication information to infer behavioral contextual patterns. Participants also completed SRM entries smartphone app. Results...

In the last decade, number of articles on HCI and health has increased dramatically. We extracted 139 papers depression, anxiety bipolar issues from 10 years SIGCHI conference proceedings. 72 these were published in two years. A systematic analysis this growing body literature revealed that most innovation happens automated diagnosis, self-tracking, although there are innovative ideas tangible interfaces. noted an overemphasis data production without consideration how it leads to fruitful...

Online mental health interventions can benefit people experiencing a range of psychological difficulties, but attrition is major problem in real-world deployments. We discuss strategies to reduce attrition, and present SilverCloud, platform designed provide more engaging online experiences. The paper presents the results practice-based clinical study which 45 clients 6 therapists used an Cognitive Behavioural Therapy programme for depression. Pre post-treatment assessments, using Beck...

The cost to society of mental illness is substantial. A large scale international study has identified illnesses as the second leading cause disability and premature mortality in developed world [Murray, C.L., Lopez, A.D. (Eds.), 1996. Global Burden Disease: comprehensive assessment from disease, injuries, risk factors 1990 projected 2020. Harvard University, Cambridge, MA]. Unfortunately, research also suggests that majority people suffering treatable health disorders do not have access...

Mental illness is a significant and growing problem throughout the world. Many mental health problems have their root in childhood, early intervention recommended.

Abstract Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) methods and technologies, designed to support the self-report of experience in moment daily life, have long been considered poised revolutionize human-centred research, practice design mental healthcare. The history EMA is inextricably linked technology, mobile devices embody many characteristics required these methods. However, significant barriers adoption systems remain, including challenges user engagement, reporting burden, data validity...

Recent advances in AI and machine learning (ML) promise significant transformations the future delivery of healthcare. Despite a surge research development, few works have moved beyond demonstrations technical feasibility algorithmic performance. However, to realize many ambitious visions for how can contribute clinical impact requires closer design study tools or interventions within specific health care contexts. This article outlines our collaborative, human-centered approach developing...

Online mental health interventions are increasingly important in providing access to, and supporting the effectiveness of, treatment. While these technologies effective, user attrition early disengagement key challenges. Evidence suggests that integrating a human supporter into such services mitigates challenges, however, it remains under-studied how involvement benefits client outcomes, to maximize effects. We present our analysis of 234,735 messages discover different support strategies...

Anxiety disorders are the most common type of mental health problem. The potential apps to improve has led an increase in number anxiety available.
