Very exciting to see the work from @katiehoemann.bsky.social at #SAA2025! Participants were able to voice record a description of events. Katie clustered these over many different topics. 2 fun ones:
- Complaints about rain (study was in Belgium 😅)
- Complaints about the study itself (ESM...)

@rayyantutunji.bsky.social showing at #SAA2025 that wearable data (EPA) is not enough to predict mental well-being (R2 = 0.01). My bet is more on timing (triggering) surveys compared to leaving out surveys.

Impressed by the commitment to correct validation (not even touching test set until later)!

Cool #SAA2025 talk from Niels van Hasbrouck about how an extreme response style can have a severe effect on affect dynamics.

Should we push everyone to have the same response style by only allowing discrete answers?

Small new #EMI (ecological momentary intervention) feature that makes it very easy to create adaptive module screens or psycho education interventions. Used for:
- adaptive presentation of exercises
- Only show relevant modules for a participant (modules that actually interest the participant)

1/3 From now on its easy to import and analyze #ESM / #EMA m-Path data in R! Lara Navarrete and Koen Niemeijer created an amazing R package to:
- Import m-Path data in R
- Preprocess
- Check participant response behavior
- Transform variables
- Analyze
- Link data with other #ESM/#EMA R packages

Honorable mention for all the cans that Stijn collected over all these years :D.

Yesterday we moved office from our offices at KU Leuven (university) to our new m-Path offices.

We took one last picture in front of the PSI. Some of us had worked here for more than 14 years.

PSI, you will be missed!

Welcome everyone to this very first EMPOT tutorial!

The automated YouTube subtitles are not perfect yet :).

Currently creating 3 tutorial videos for researchers new to the m-Path/empot platform!

Added new functions to PseudoR. PseudoR can be used to adapt a survey in real time. e.g.:
-as.responsetime: use to adapt a survey to a participant that answers too quickly
-distm: adapt survey if participant is close to a specific location
Let us know if you are still missing functions!

New just Just-in-time Adaptive Intervention (#JITAI) of the day:
1) Assess location (GPS) in the background
2) Check if I am at my work
3) Trigger communication with m-Path server if I arrived
4) Automatically send mail to my colleagues urging them to come too!

Created my first Just-in-time Adaptive Intervention (JITAI) this weekend:
1) I unlock my phone screen
2) App internally counts how often this happens
3) I get a notification when I use my phone too often

Hopefully we can roll out #JITAI features for everyone in a few weeks!

📫Today we received a message packed with valuable (constructive) feedback about our platform. Obviously no platform is flawless, and user input is key to making it even better.

The more feedback we get, the better the platform becomes – keep it coming!

📣 It's official!

We are launching our first m-Path Innovative Research Grant! 👩‍🎓
