Digital Adaptive Interventions: Common Misconceptions and Opportunities (PRC & QuantDev joint seminar)

Dr. Nahum-Shani will discuss common misconceptions and opportunities in harnessing powerful mobile and sensing technologies to adapt the delivery of interventions to the unique and dynamically changing needs of individuals, while minimizing participant effort, burden and habituation. The presentation will highlight:

• The variety of intervention designs that can be deployed to adapt the delivery of digital interventions, including standard adaptive interventions, just-in-time adaptive interventions and multimodality adaptive interventions;
• the variety of experimental approaches that can be used to answer scientific questions about the development of different kinds of digital adaptive interventions;
• the critical role of clearly defining, measuring and investigating engagement with digital Interventions.
