| Abstract: | The existing JITAI apps are not based on the input of the target users and rely on quantitative models instead. Hence, improving JITAIs by accounting for the needs and preferences of patients regarding the intervention delivery is necessary. In this study, the JITAI depression apps that incorporate techniques from CBT, specifically Behavioral Activation, were considered. This study aimed to define an optimal timing for the delivery of depression JITAIs considering patients’ moments of vulnerability/opportunity and receptivity. The results emphasize how intervention delivery can be made more tailored to the patients’ needs by incorporating the patients’ preferred time of the day and context for receiving an intervention that can be specified in the app. Moreover, patients can upload their schedule to ensure their availability when the JITAI decides to send a notification. However, it is also stated that there should be some optimal moments for the JITAI to send notifications such as whenever the patient is alone or cannot fall asleep. |
