Abstract
Mobile phone users are expected to exceed 5 billion in 2010 and the use of online social networks is soaring (Facebook alone has more than 500 million users). Today's mobile phones represent a powerful computing platform, given their ability to sense through a variety of sensors (e.g. accelerometer, Bluetooth, microphone, and magnetometer), their processing and communication capabilities. Phones are part of everyday life, and therefore represent an exceptionally suitable tool for investigating behaviour and promoting behaviour change, while social networks provide a valuable source of data about user preferences and social interactions. This proposal will investigate the power and challenges of using mobile phones for behaviour change interventions. This will involve tackling the challenges of measuring many aspects of human behaviour through power-limited mobile phones as well as integrating the information extracted through the phones with social data gathered on online social networks.Digital Behaviour Change Interventions (DBCIs) are interactive, automated packages of advice and ongoing support for behaviour change, which typically include: personalised advice based on responses to questions assessing needs, circumstances and preferences; support for goal-setting, planning and progress monitoring; automated reminders and progress-relevant feedback and encouragement; access to social support by email, online forums etc. DBCIs can be used for a wide range of different behaviours; for example, to reduce risky or antisocial behaviour, increase productivity in the workplace, enhance learning activities, or support environmentally important lifestyle change, such as reducing energy use. DBCIs are a relatively new method of supporting behaviour change, as the technology to support this kind of personalised interactive support is only now becoming available. They provide scientists with a means of carrying out detailed assessments of the process of behaviour change from a much larger sample of the population than has previously been possible.Traditional DBCIs have mainly been delivered by PCs and provide feedback to users based on their answers to questions about their activities and feelings. Our aim is to use mobile phone technology and online social networking applications to gather this kind of information during daily life without the need for users to answer questions. Mobile phones can be employed to sense whether the user is active, their mood, and who they are with or talking to, while online social networks can provide information about users' attitudes and social contacts. This information can then be used to deliver exactly the right kind of messages to users at the right time, depending on what the user is doing and feeling.We will work closely with users to develop ethical, acceptable and practical methods of measurement and behavioural intervention. We will then demonstrate and experimentally test the capabilities, performance and effectiveness of our tools and techniques by developing a range of DBCIs to address a major public health problem, weight management. We will recruit very large samples of people to try these DBCIs from our 'MyPersonality' population of 3 million Facebook users who have previously taken part in our studies. We will develop new methods to analyse the information we gather across time and space from a very large number of people. We aim to develop an in-depth understanding of how and why different people react to and use different intervention components. This will help us, and others, to design more popular and helpful DBCIs in the future.The tools we develop will be designed to be easily reusable and adaptable by others for different types of behaviour change. To ensure that a wide multidisciplinary community can benefit from the tools and methods for behaviour change that we develop we will provide extensive online educational and training materials, workshops, and exchanges.
Planned Impact
Our proposed work will provide the framework and support needed for sustained digital intervention development in the academic, public, private and third sectors, and hence our technological innovations will also have direct economic impacts. We have a track record in making our software available as open source, and five teams around Europe and the US are already building on versions of our existing socio-psychological intervention software. Our research outputs will have the potential to support the production of commercially significant enabling technologies and services in this area for commercial companies. A number of companies have shown enthusiastic interest in our proposed integration of mobile sensing with social networking and our platform for creating behaviour change interventions, as these innovations will dramatically enhance the efficacy, versatility and dissemination of applications that promote positive behaviour change and personal growth (see letters of support from our industrial partners). This means that a potentially unlimited range of interventions could be developed more cheaply, rapidly and effectively than at present. Digital behaviour change interventions are a powerful and cost-effective means of promoting desired behaviour, and can be used to target behaviours that can enhance public services or improve health and/or quality of life. For example, the LifeGuide software that this proposal will develop further is already being used to develop interventions to: reduce obesity in primary care and promote weight loss in the Royal Navy; help people from disadvantaged backgrounds stop smoking; train and support GPs, nurses and other health professionals; help foreign students adjust to university life; reduce transmission of respiratory infections (including pandemic flu); and support self-management in the home of symptoms (flu, eczema, irritable bowel) and serious conditions (high blood pressure, stroke). Our specific interventions also have the potential for extensive and rapid economic and societal impact within a 2-5 year period. We will focus on the development of a set of interventions directly addressing a huge and growing public health problem: weight management. We will work closely with the target user groups throughout the development of the weight management interventions, carrying out in-depth qualitative studies to ensure that the interventions fit with users' lifestyles, needs, abilities and preferences. We will then immediately test their acceptability and effectiveness in substantial samples of users; this will include inviting participation in the interventions from the 3 million current users of the Facebook psychological testing application 'MyPersonality', and promoting participation of the general population through high profile press releases. Once shown to be successful, the interventions will be rolled out at virtually no additional cost to everyone with online access within or outside the UK (for example, health-related digital interventions could be rolled out through the UK NHS Choices website). Through our planned steering group, workshops and publicity activities we will ensure that the interventions and software are designed to meet the needs of potential users and are disseminated as widely as possible (see Pathways to Impact). For example, members of our steering committee include Dr. Bob Gann, Director of NHS Choices (the web portal for the UK National Health Service), Hein de Vries, a Professor of Health Communication with who plays a leading role in creating and testing digital public health interventions in the Netherlands, and Professor Munoz, who is engaged in a programme of work to disseminate all health-related interventions internationally in all languages. Our EmotionSense work on mobile phone sensing has received considerable media coverage, highlighting the interest of the community at large in tools devised to understand and help behaviour change.

The person-based approach to intervention development: application to digital health-related behavior change interventions.
in Journal of medical Internet research
Description | We have developed a mobile application for Android (Emotion Sense) which was downloaded more than 50,000 times with about 3000 active users at any one stage. The application combines experience sampling on mood at different time of day and passive smart phone sensing. We hold 3 years of data from the release of the app to the public. Initial findings suggest interesting relationships between accelerometer and location data to mood. We have also developed the 'LifeGuide Toolbox' -- reusable software allowing the digital intervention research community to create sensing-driven behaviour change apps. Following successful proof-of-concept testing of the beta version of LifeGuide Toolbox in several applications we are now expanding its functionality in preparation for general release in summer 2016. We have also developed and released InterruptMe, a stand-alone Android library for intelligent context-aware notification with the goal of maximising the probability that participants will read the messages sent to them. The library is based on a set of machine learning algorithms and has been made available as open source software to the general public on the Web. In general, among the lessons learnt with respect to user interruptibility, we discover that not only the timing of the notification is important, but also the frequency of notifications is a key factor, which needs to be investigated in more depth in the future. We have made important advances in understanding the challenges and limitations of using apps to support behaviour change, resulting in high impact publications documenting the different ways in which people use health behaviour change apps, and making recommendations for meeting the demands of different use patterns - particularly, by creating hybrid (website and app) interventions or alternative methods of accessing interventions. We are now bringing these insights to the 'MOveOn' EPSRC Network+ on promoting physical activity. The new 'LifeGuide visualisation tool' we created in UBhave is now being used to analyse numerous large data-sets, from well over 20,000 users of LifeGuide digital health interventions developed to address important public health targets such as tacking obesity, promoting mental wellbeing and combating the rise of antimicrobial resistance. Analyses of these data have enabled us to reconceptualise usage of digital interventions in terms of the minimum 'effective engagement' required to achieve the desired behavioural and health outcomes (rather than unnecessarily extensive or sustained usage). |
Exploitation Route | The LifeGuide toolbox will enable the 2000+ researchers worldwide registered on the LifeGuide network to create their own sensing behaviour change apps, and the LifeGuide visualisation tool will allow them to efficiently carry out detailed analyses of the data from these interventions. We continue to disseminate our insights into creating effective behaviour change interventions through well-attended workshops and symposia and well-cited publications; for example, our paper describing our approach to digital intervention development (http://www.jmir.org/2015/1/e30/) was the most read paper in the leading digital health intervention journal the month it was published. The paper describing InterruptMe was nominated for Best Paper Award (top 4%) at UbiComp'14, the leading conference in Ubiquitous Computing. Non-academic impact is described below (see Narrative Impact). |

Description | The public health roll-out of our UBhave/LifeGuide digital interventions for weight management (the POWeR hybrid website and app) has attracted sustained and widespread demand, and we are now proceeding to national and international dissemination in collaboration with local health authorities and a SME, 'Changing Health'. POWeR was initially made directly available to over 2 million people in the local community through Local Health Authorities and the NHS. We then secured funding from Innovate UK to work with Changing Health to adapt POWeR for dissemination in app format through the NHS and internationally. The POWeR app is already being delivered to 4,000 patients as part of the NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme, which will be rolled out to a further 12.000 patients over the next 5 years. The POWeR app has also been adopted by NHS England as the weight management element of a national diabetes education programme that will be rolled out through the NHS to 600,000 diabetic patients over the next 5 years. Changing Health are in the process of negotiating further major contracts for POWeR in the UK and other countries (including Japan, the Netherlands and Germany) |

PI Contribution | Free access to our digital health interventions provided to members of the public, including an online weight management intervention (POWeR) and an online and app-based stress management intervention. POWeR was adapted and sold to Local Authorities so the intervention could be made available to members of the public. This worked involved building strong partnerships with Local Authorities, and understanding, discussing and addressing their individual needs for dissemination. POWeR was modified to conform to digital intervention standards, then procedures, protocols and contracts were put in place to support dissemination. A training session was delivered for public health practitioners delivering coaching support to POWeR users. Each Local Authority received a version of POWeR tailored to their needs. Data reports on uptake and use of the intervention were delivered to track outcomes. Press releases were published and POWeR was promoted at conferences, public health workshops and other national events. |
Collaborator Contribution | Promotion of our digital health interventions to members of the public and workplaces across the UK so the general public can benefit from using successful online interventions. Invitations to present at local events to promote our digital health interventions. |
Impact | Multidisciplinary collaboration: psychology and public health. The collaborations have resulted in large scale dissemination of two digital health interventions to examine levels of uptake, usage and engagement. Data from the first large-scale community-based roll out has been published in the Journal of Medical Internet Research (2014). Two further roll outs within workplaces across the UK are currently on-going, the data from which will be submitted for publication in due course. Preliminary data from the POWeR rollout shows hundreds of users have used the intervention. As a result of these collaborations we have also conducted a training workshop to public health practitioners in developing online public health interventions using the LifeGuide intervention authoring software (hosted by Teeside University and Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council) and presented at an employers wellbeing event (hosted by Hertfordshire County Council and Business in the Community). Additionally, we have provided a training session for public health practitioners providing support to POWeR users (hosted by Solent NHS Trust). |

Results and Impact | The Connected Nations event was held to assess the impact of the internet and digital technologies on the challenges the UK faces, including topics such as health, security and personal data. The LifeGuide exhibit showcased how the software had been successfully applied, with posters, demos and downloads illustrating some of the websites and apps that have been shown to improve health and wellbeing. Our exhibit increased awareness of the LifeGuide research programme and showed how LifeGuide has been used to successfully develop effective online interventions for public health and illness management. |
