Bio statement

David C. Mohr, Ph.D. is the Director of Northwestern University’s Center for Behavioral Intervention Technologies (CBITs; cbits.northwestern.edu) and a tenured professor in the Department of Preventive Medicine. Dr. Mohr’s work lies at the intersection of behavioral science, technology, and clinical intervention research, and is focused on developing, optimizing, and evaluating interventions that harness web-based and wireless technologies to promote health and mental health. His current work in development includes the following projects: 1) the development a context sensing mobile application that harnesses indwelling sensor data within the phone to identify specific physical, social and emotional patient states and to integrate this system into mobile interventions; 2) the integration of web-based intervention and peer networking tools that use principles of online collaborative learning and supportive accountability to enhance learning and adherence; 3) the development of conversational agents (virtual humans) that can be used in web-based interventions to support interpersonal skills-training components of depression treatment programs, and 4) the creation of a mobile intervention that monitors adherence to medications, provides just-in-time reminders, monitors response and side effects, and provides aggregated, actionable information to prescribing physicians. This later adherence system will be tested in patients receiving pharmacotherapies for depression and HIV, with a somewhat simpler version for patients with schizophrenia. Dr. Mohr is also interested in methodologies for the evaluation of psychological and behavioral interventions.

Mobilyze! Context Sensing Mobile Intervention for Depression
David C. Mohr*, Mark Begale, Jenna Duffecy

Background and Objectives: The aim of our Mobilyze program of research is to develop a context sensing application that can identify in real-time user states relevant to depression and treatment of depression. A growing number of researchers are investigating the use of external, wearable sensors to provide information about user states and activities. However, today’s smartphones come with a rich set of embedded sensors, such as an accelerometer, digital compass, gyroscope, GPS, light se...
