The rapid developments in the functionalities of smartphones and technological
innovations play a vital role in providing location-based services in healthcare.
A mental health sensor-based software platform has been developed by the
Geospatial Technologies research group (Geotec), consisting of an application
generation framework that offers basic geospatial building blocks (location
tracking, trajectory recording, geo-fencing), communication building blocks
(notifications) and a basic visualization of collected data for therapists. The
framework has been successfully tested for building an application to treat
agoraphobia, addiction, and depression, using location-based notifications.
However, defining the places of interest for a patient is addressed to a limited
extent only. Thus, therapists have difficulties of identifying and defining
multiple places of interest, and the generated apps were therefore mostly
limited to single places of interest, which were manually defined. Hence, they
are difficult to use in larger areas. This thesis aims to use a location-based
service to support therapists in defining places of interest, based on location
and place categories. The work is carried out as an extension of the SYMPTOMS
platform, and it allows therapists to define multiple places of interest
automatically and for larger areas. The added value of the approach (in terms of
automation, ease of use, and universally usable of therapies) by the locationbased services in improving mental health interventions is evaluated. As a
result, the application was found to be usable with SUS score of 91.875 and
useful for therapists to define multiple places of interest at the same time which
simplifies the configuration process and makes therapies universally usable. [-]
