• Abstract summary: Internet-delivered psychological treatments (IDPT) are seen as an effective and scalable pathway to improving the accessibility of mental healthcare. This work proposes a deep-learning approach to perform automatic adherence forecasting, while relying on minimally sensitive login/logout data. The proposed Self-Attention Network achieved over 70% average balanced accuracy, when only 1/3 of the treatment duration had elapsed.

• Abstract: Internet-delivered psychological treatments (IDPT) are seen as an effective and scalable pathway to improving the accessibility of mental healthcare. Within this context, treatment adherence is an especially relevant challenge to address due to the reduced interaction between healthcare professionals and patients, compared to more traditional interventions. In parallel, there are increasing regulations when using peoples' personal data, especially in the digital sphere. In such regulations, data minimization is often a core tenant such as within the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Consequently, this work proposes a deep-learning approach to perform automatic adherence forecasting, while only relying on minimally sensitive login/logout data. This approach was tested on a dataset containing 342 patients undergoing guided internet-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy (G-ICBT) treatment. The proposed Self-Attention Network achieved over 70% average balanced accuracy, when only 1/3 of the treatment duration had elapsed. As such, this study demonstrates that automatic adherence forecasting for G-ICBT, is achievable using only minimally sensitive data, thus facilitating the implementation of such tools within real-world IDPT platforms.

  We take a novel approach that leverages large language models to synthesize clinically useful insights from multi-sensor data. We develop chain of thought prompting methods that use LLMs to generate reasoning about how trends in data relate to conditions like depression and anxiety. We find models like GPT-4 correctly reference numerical data 75% of the time, and clinician participants express strong interest in using this approach to interpret self-tracking data.

  Behavioral health interventions, delivered through digital platforms, have the potential to significantly improve health outcomes. We study the problem of optimizing personalized interventions for patients to maximize a long-term outcome. We present a new approach for this problem that we dub DecompPI, which decomposes the state space for a system of patients to the individual level.

  We develop a novel data-pooling reinforcement learning (RL) algorithm based on a general perturbed value iteration framework. Our algorithm adaptively pools historical data, with three main innovations: (i) the weight of pooling ties directly to the performance of decision (measured by regret) as opposed to estimation accuracy in conventional methods. We substantiate the theoretical development with empirically better performance of our algorithm via a case study in the context of post-discharge intervention to prevent unplanned readmissions.

  We wish to assess relevant unmeasured physiological variables that have a strong effect on the patients diagnosis and treatment. Extensive offline information is available about previous patients, that may only be partially related to the present patient. Our proposed approach consists of three stages: (i) Use the abundant offline data in order to create both a non-causal and a causal estimator. We demonstrate the effectiveness of this methodology on a (non-medical) real-world task, in situations where the offline data is only partially related to the new observations.
