Abstract

© 2018 Copyright is held by the owner/author(s). Modern smartphones come equipped with an array of sensors, and the data from these sensors can be collected to obtain contextual and behavioural information about the phone user. Furthermore, the interesting idea that analysed paerns in this data can indicate psychological conditions or states has gained aention in recent years. In this paper we discuss some incipient work on bringing therapy components from the MOST (moderated online social therapy) web platform into a mobile system that delivers personalised real-time therapy recommendations based on such smartphone sensing information.
