Title

mHealth inter­ven­tions for resilience and pre­ven­tion of stress-relat­ed disorders

Abstract

Stand­alone mobile health (mHealth) inter­ven­tions rep­re­sent a promis­ing avenue for enhanc­ing stress resilience and pre­vent­ing men­tal health dis­or­ders across diverse pop­u­la­tions. This pre­sen­ta­tion will intro­duce two eco­log­i­cal momen­tary inter­ven­tions (EMIs) specif­i­cal­ly designed to mech­a­nis­ti­cal­ly tar­get resilience fac­tors, name­ly pos­i­tive cog­ni­tive reap­praisal and men­tal imagery. Fur­ther­more, the talk will exam­ine method­olog­i­cal advance­ments in EMI deliv­ery design, focus­ing on strate­gies to enhance engage­ment, effec­tive­ness, and personalization. 

Recent research on Just-in-Time Adap­tive Inter­ven­tions for stress resilience will also be dis­cussed, high­light­ing how expe­ri­ence sam­pling meth­ods and wear­able sen­sors inform deci­sion algo­rithms for dynam­ic inter­ven­tion tai­lor­ing. To ensure con­sis­ten­cy and com­pa­ra­bil­i­ty across stud­ies, all stud­ies pre­sent­ed dur­ing the pre­sen­ta­tion uti­lize the same EMIs, ReApp and Imager. These advance­ments have a poten­tial to enhance the scal­a­bil­i­ty, pre­ci­sion, and real-world applic­a­bil­i­ty of mHealth inter­ven­tions for men­tal health and pro­vide a foun­da­tion for future research and clin­i­cal imple­men­ta­tion, fos­ter­ing more adap­tive, per­son­al­ized, and acces­si­ble dig­i­tal men­tal health solutions. 

Biog­ra­phy

Mar­ta com­plet­ed her Ph.D. stud­ies at the Uni­ver­si­ty of Zurich in 2022. Before that, she obtained Mas­ter’s degrees in Psy­chol­o­gy and Cog­ni­tive Sci­ence, as well as a Bach­e­lor’s degree in Phi­los­o­phy from the Uni­ver­si­ty of War­saw. She was fund­ed by the Dig­i­tal Entre­pre­neur Fel­low­ship of the UZH Foun­da­tion. Her research pro­gram is focused on stress resilience, pre­vent­ing psy­chopathol­o­gy, and cre­at­ing mHealth Eco­log­i­cal Momen­tary Inter­ven­tions. Cur­rent­ly, she is Assis­tant Pro­fes­sor at Eras­mus Uni­ver­siteit Rot­ter­dam and is project leader from the App-project.
