CYP Wellbeing seminar series- Amberly Brigden- Just-In-Time Adaptive intervention- using technology to deliver individualised and targeted behavioural support

Just-in-Time Adaptive interventions (JITAIs) use technologies such as smartphones and smartwatches to provide the right type of support at the right time, adapting support to an individual's state and context. In this presentation, I will give an overview of JITAIs and the challenges and opportunities of this new digital intervention design.

Amberly’s research focuses on the development and evaluation of complex digital health interventions to support children with chronic health conditions. This has included designing wearable, virtual reality, and machine learning-based interventions for conditions including paediatric fatigue, pain, sleep disorders and oncology. Her research methods include qualitative co-design approaches and clinical trial design, with a focus on delivering research in collaboration with patients, charities, and NHS partners.
