Considerations for Designing Context-Aware Mobile Apps for Mental Health Interventions
Abstract
:1. Introduction
- RQ1: What are the relevant dimensions that sustain or describe each area of knowledge (Technology, Context, and Mental Health)?
- RQ2: How do the dimensions that belong to different areas of knowledge relate to each other?
- RQ3: Which interrelated dimensions may best inform users for designing context-aware mobile apps to support mental health interventions?
