“…This study describes the first step of a co-creation development process in which end-users (i.e., clients with depression/depressive complaints) and experts (e.g., psychologists) evaluated the usefulness of an existing smartphone Health for Travel Behaviour (HTB) application and feedback report. The HTB app was initially developed for cardiac patients and allows monitoring and improvement of travelrelated physical activity, which aligns with the principles of behavioral activation via transport-related behavior from the TOTEM platform (Batool et al, 2018(Batool et al, , 2022. The clients with depression/depressive complaints and psychologists assessed the usefulness of active transportation to increase activity levels in depression.…”

“…The HTB application (Figure 3) monitors travel behavior by collecting: 1) GPSbased location data of the trips and activities performed throughout the day, 2) Duration, start-and end-time of the activities and trips that are executed throughout the day, 3) Detection of the used transport mode: motorized transport, cycling, and walking (but unable to correctly distinguish between different types of motorized transport modes, such as car, bus, or motorcycle), and 4) Covered distance during the trips. Moreover, three additional parameters are manually provided by the patient: 1) activity type (e.g., home, work, shopping), travel partner (e.g., spouse, friends), and motorized transport mode (e.g., car driver, car passenger) (Batool et al, 2022).…”

“…The report also compares the category allocation with that of peers, allowing the user to check if they perform below or above average. Furthermore, the report included the simple home-based trips (i.e., home-activity-home) executed as driver or passenger, taxi or motorcycle, that could be replaced by active transport, together with the impact on the ATS (Batool et al, 2018(Batool et al, , 2022. For more detailed information on the calculation of the ATS score and the definition of simple home-based trips, we refer to (Batool et al, 2022).…”

“…Besides containing information that should support the SOC (e.g., facts concerning the benefits of active transportation and support for setting goals), the HTB feedback report included some fixed parts that include psycho-education concerning the health benefits of travel-related physical activity. The remaining sections related to user's individual performance: physical activity level from active transport, encouraging comments linked to their ATS score, and the impact of trips that could potentially be replaced with active transport (Batool et al, 2018(Batool et al, , 2022.…”

Technological developments can optimize therapy for depression. However, early client or user involvement is crucial. The smartphone application and dashboard ‘plaTfOrm using evidence-based inTervEntions for (Mental) health’ (TOTEM), based on cognitive behavioral therapy and behavioral activation, is being developed together with clients from the start. Objective monitoring (e.g., activity/travel-related behavior) and human-in-the-loop AI machine learning allow tailored blended care, combining face-to-face therapy with online modules and Just-in-Time Adaptive Interventions. As a first co-creation step, clients with (prior) depression or depressive complaints and psychologists evaluated the usefulness of an existing Health for Travel Behaviour (HTB) application and feedback report developed for cardio patients, which monitors and improves travel-related physical activity. Online semi-structured interviews followed an HTB demonstration. In total, 16 interviews (14 clients and 2 psychologists) were transcribed and analyzed. Participants perceived the application as user-friendly, relevant, useful, attractive, and a supplement to standard care. It encourages people to engage in activities. The feedback report was also perceived as transparent, useful, and relevant. Emotional aspects are underemphasized (e.g., assessment of feelings and mental health-related psycho-education). When tailored to depression (with attention for different recovery phases), monitoring and improving travel-related physical activity was considered helpful in supplementing standard care for depression.

“…Collection of individual traces using respondents' own mobile devices rose with the ubiquity of sensor-equipped mobile device. Research shows that this individual-level sensor data has the capacity not only to collect mobility data, but to provide a basis for behavioral interventions (Batool et al 2022;Cellina et al 2019). Despite this fact, most publications represent field test and introductory apps (Allström et al 2017;Chambers et al 2017;Marra et al 2019;McCool et al 2021).…”

Maximum interpolable gap length in missing smartphone-based GPS mobility data

Passively-generated location data have the potential to augment mobility and transportation research, as demonstrated by a decade of research. A common trait of these data is a high proportion of missingness. Naïve handling, including list-wise deletion of subjects or days, or linear interpolation across time gaps, has the potential to bias summary results. On the other hand, it is unfeasible to collect mobility data at frequencies high enough to reflect all possible movements. In this paper, we describe the relationship between the temporal and spatial aspects of these data gaps, and illustrate the impact on measures of interest in the field of mobility. We propose a method to deal with missing location data that combines a so-called top-down ratio segmentation method with simple linear interpolation. The linear interpolation imputes missing data. The segmentation method transforms the set of location points to a series of lines, called segments. The method is designed for relatively short gaps, but is evaluated also for longer gaps. We study the effect of our imputation method for the duration of missing data using a completely observed subset of observations from the 2018 Statistics Netherlands travel study. We find that long gaps demonstrate greater downward bias on travel distance, movement events and radius of gyration as compared to shorter but more frequent gaps. When the missingness is unrelated to travel behavior, total sparsity can reach levels of up to 20% with gap lengths of up to 10 min while maintaining a maximum 5% downward bias in the metrics of interest. Temporal aspects can increase these limits; sparsity occurring in the evening or night hours is less biasing due to fewer travel behaviors.
