Causal AI Recommendation System for Digital Mental Health: Bayesian Decision-Theoretic Analysis

Causal AI Recommendation System for Digital Mental Health: Bayesian Decision-Theoretic Analysis

The measures and domains assessed in the app include (1) social support, using 3 items from the Schuster Social Support Scale [24]; (2) personal functioning, using 3 items about educational and employment engagement and achievement [25]; (3) psychological distress, using the K6 (Kessler-6) scale for psychological distress [26]; (4) sleep, using 4 sleep items, including feeling refreshed after sleep, trouble falling asleep, and subjective energy [27]; (5) physical activity, 4 items from the International Physical

Evaluating a Mobile Digital Therapeutic for Vasomotor and Behavioral Health Symptoms Among Women in Midlife: Randomized Controlled Trial

Evaluating a Mobile Digital Therapeutic for Vasomotor and Behavioral Health Symptoms Among Women in Midlife: Randomized Controlled Trial

These can include vasomotor symptoms (VMS) such as hot flashes (sudden, temporary onset of warmth in the body, flushing, and sweating) and night sweats (episodes of excessive sweating that happen during sleep), as well as depression, anxiety, and sleep disturbances [3]. In the United States, approximately 6000 women transition into menopause each day, many of whom face these challenges for years before and after menopause [4].

Consumer Wearable Usage to Collect Health Data Among Adults Living in Germany: Nationwide Observational Survey Study

Consumer Wearable Usage to Collect Health Data Among Adults Living in Germany: Nationwide Observational Survey Study

Therefore, CWs can track vital parameters and behaviors, such as heart rate, physical activity (PA), or sleep [1]. The usage of CWs in the population has increased enormously within the last decade. In 2022, around 500 million of these devices were sold worldwide, which means that the sales increased by the factor 16 compared with 2014 [2]. In Germany, 7.2 million CWs were sold in 2022 [3].

Smartphone Ecological Momentary Assessment and Wearable Activity Tracking in Pediatric Depression: Cohort Study

Smartphone Ecological Momentary Assessment and Wearable Activity Tracking in Pediatric Depression: Cohort Study

Data were collected on daily activity (number of steps) and sleep. Fitbit data were obtained via the Fitbit API, which provides preprocessed JSON files reflecting proprietary algorithms for step counting and sleep [50]. For sleep, each participant had one JSON file that spanned the duration of the study, which included a sleep log with timestamps for sleep onset and offset and a breakdown of sleep stages (eg, light, rapid eye movement [REM], deep).

Impacts of the Mindfulness Meditation Mobile App Calm on Undergraduate Students’ Sleep and Emotional State: Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

Impacts of the Mindfulness Meditation Mobile App Calm on Undergraduate Students’ Sleep and Emotional State: Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

Poor sleep quality is another common observance among postsecondary students [16], with conditions such as delayed sleep phase syndrome being 50% more prevalent among postsecondary students compared to the general population [17]. A distinctive combination of social, work, and academic pressures renders this population particularly susceptible to poor sleep quality [18,19].

Longitudinal Digital Phenotyping of Multiple Sclerosis Severity Using Passively Sensed Behaviors and Ecological Momentary Assessments: Real-World Evaluation

Longitudinal Digital Phenotyping of Multiple Sclerosis Severity Using Passively Sensed Behaviors and Ecological Momentary Assessments: Real-World Evaluation

Calls and screen use were event-based sensor streams, whereas location, heart rate, sleep, and steps were time series sensor streams. We sampled location coordinates at 1 sample per 10 minutes and heart rate, sleep, and steps at 1 sample per minute. Throughout the study duration, the mobile app alerted and directed participants 3 times a day to complete a brief EMA survey within the app.

Longitudinal Remote Sleep and Cognitive Research in Older Adults With Mild Cognitive Impairment and Dementia: Prospective Feasibility Cohort Study

Longitudinal Remote Sleep and Cognitive Research in Older Adults With Mild Cognitive Impairment and Dementia: Prospective Feasibility Cohort Study

Sleep disturbances such as insomnia, fragmented sleep, daytime sleepiness, and sleep-disordered breathing are common features of Alzheimer disease (AD) and Lewy body disease (LBD) and often appear early in the disease course and before clinical diagnosis [1,2].

Evaluating the Acceptability and Utility of a Personalized Wellness App (Aspire2B) Using AI-Enabled Digital Biomarkers: Engagement Enhancement Pilot Study

Evaluating the Acceptability and Utility of a Personalized Wellness App (Aspire2B) Using AI-Enabled Digital Biomarkers: Engagement Enhancement Pilot Study

To further personalize the experience of Aspire2 B, participants were encouraged to answer more questions covering aspects like sleep quality, physical activity, and dietary intake, although these were not mandatory (refer to Optional Onboarding Questions section). From these responses, subjects were assigned to one of three challenges, that are (1) nutrition, (2) movement, (3) sleep based on set criteria (eg, those reporting poor sleep quality were placed in sleep challenge).

Perceptions of the Use of Mobile Apps to Assess Sleep-Dependent Memory in Older Adults With Subjective and Objective Cognitive Impairment: Focus Group Approach

Perceptions of the Use of Mobile Apps to Assess Sleep-Dependent Memory in Older Adults With Subjective and Objective Cognitive Impairment: Focus Group Approach

In this study, poorer SDM was linked to having greater sleep apnea severity for older adults without MCI. In contrast, for those with MCI, poorer performance was associated with decreased sleep spindle duration and smaller hippocampal subfield size. As various age-related sleep changes occur both naturally [7] and with neurodegenerative diseases [8,9], it is crucial to understand how these alterations impact SDM.

Association Between Internet Use and Sleep Health Among Middle-Aged and Older Chinese Individuals: Nationwide Longitudinal Study

Association Between Internet Use and Sleep Health Among Middle-Aged and Older Chinese Individuals: Nationwide Longitudinal Study

Based on this, we hypothesize that internet use may be associated with a reduced risk of sleep problems, including poor sleep quality and abnormal sleep duration, in middle-aged and older adults. To test this hypothesis, we examined both cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between internet use or internet frequency and sleep quality, as well as between internet use or internet frequency and sleep duration.
