Feature Selection for Physical Activity Prediction Using Ecological Momentary Assessments to Personalize Intervention Timing: Longitudinal Observational Study

Feature Selection for Physical Activity Prediction Using Ecological Momentary Assessments to Personalize Intervention Timing: Longitudinal Observational Study

To establish relevance, accuracy, and reliability, it would be necessary to validate passively sensed feature sets against the subjective user experience, difficult to do in the context of emotions and self-regulation that play a central part in the enactment of health behaviors such as PA [13]. Therefore, tailoring PA-fostering JITAIs based on PSCF comes with a considerable risk of misaligning intervention timing and content with users’ current states.

Empathy, a fundamental aspect of human interaction, can be characterized as the ability to experience the emotions of another being within oneself. The origin of the word “empathy” dates back to the 1880s, when Theodore Lipps determined the word “einfuhlung” (“in-feeling”) to describe the emotional appreciation of another’s feelings [1].

Differences in Fear and Negativity Levels Between Formal and Informal Health-Related Websites: Analysis of Sentiments and Emotions

Differences in Fear and Negativity Levels Between Formal and Informal Health-Related Websites: Analysis of Sentiments and Emotions

Emotion analysis involves the identification of specific emotions expressed in a text. In accordance with Ekman’s [14] model, several basic emotions can be identified, such as happiness, sadness, anger, disgust, surprise, and fear. Different methods can be used to detect sentiment and emotions in a given text, and in recent years transformer models have become increasingly popular, especially in NLP. Transformer model is a deep neural network that learns context and meaning using self-attention [15].

Considering the Role of Human Empathy in AI-Driven Therapy

Considering the Role of Human Empathy in AI-Driven Therapy

As Rogers articulated, comprehending the patient’s emotions (cognitive empathy) is imperative for endorsing and designing goals and interventions that confront these emotions. This process is underpinned by a commitment to assist and support the patient (motivational empathy), both of which stem from participating in the patient’s emotional journey (affective empathy).

Moreover, existing studies usually set aggregate emotionality (ie, the sum of all the specific emotions) as their target instead of focusing on the negative emotions, which are worth extra attention. A deeper understanding of emotional responses that might deteriorate mental health is crucial for the well-being of individuals caught in a crisis.
