KI-basierte Personalisierung digitaler Mikrointerventionen
摘要
Digital interventions for mental health promotion are highly scalable, yet often remain generic. Data-driven personalization based on intensive longitudinal data from everyday life, so-called ecological momentary assessments (EMA), could enable context-sensitive tailoring of interventions but requires demonstrated feasibility under real-world conditions in terms of technical, user-related and modeling-related aspects.
ObjectiveThe feasibility of an adaptive, artificial intelligence (AI)-based personalization system for assignment of outpatient mobile health (mHealth) interventions (ecological momentary interventions, EMI) in the living laboratory AI4U was evaluated.
Material and methodsIn three microrandomized controlled studies EMAs were collated over 40 days and assigned to EMIs. For every individual (n = 145) a person-specific time-series model was trained daily, which generated EMI suggestions. Primary feasibility criteria were technical stability, EMA compliance and suitability of the time-series data for individualized modeling.
ResultsThe median EMA compliance was approximately 50% across the 40-day period. About half of the EMI allocations were carried out algorithmically or randomized by the server; errors were compensated by a failover mechanism integrated in the app. The time-series exhibited sufficient variance and pronounced interindividual heterogeneity. As the amount of data increased, the person-specific models converged, indicating increased reliability of the model parameters.
ConclusionData-driven personalization of ambulatory interventions is principally, technically and methodologically feasible under real-life conditions. Further optimization is needed especially regarding infrastructure and long-term compliance. Adaptive time-series models offer a controllable and interpretable alternative to generative AI systems.
