The University of California, San Diego received a $2.12M project grant from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), awarded August 1, 2026, with a completion date of July 31, 2029. The UNDERSTAND project will develop and evaluate an innovative mobile health system designed to deliver just-in-time adaptive interventions (JITAI) based on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) principles to young adults experiencing comorbid Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD), Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), and related anxiety conditions. The system integrates mobile and wearable sensors, machine learning models, and large language models to unobtrusively monitor physiological and socio-behavioral indicators such as heart rate variability, speech patterns, and body posture. The project will deliver three primary research products: (1) development and validation of predictive models using sensor data to detect emotional distress in real-time across anxiety and depressive triggers; (2) design and implementation of a DBT-based intervention delivery system tailored to individual users; and (3) clinical evaluation and validation of system efficacy. By addressing the gap between traditional therapeutic approaches and real-time, context-sensitive support during daily interactions, the UNDERSTAND system aims to provide immediate, personalized mental health interventions during moments of heightened emotional distress, thereby improving outcomes across the targeted transdiagnostic conditions affecting young adults.UNDERSTAND Project Grant Summary
