Declarations
:
: Ethics approval was provided by ETH Zurich (EK-2022-N-31) after Kantonal Ethics of Zurich declared that they are not responsible under the Swiss Human Research Act (BASEC Nr. Req-2022-00165). We registered the study in the ISRCTN registry (Reference number: ISRCTN38841716, Submission date: 20/08/2022). Participants will provide written consent via the application as approved by the ethics committee.
: All authors have read and reviewed the publication and consent to its publication. No images or personal information of participants are included in this publication.
: GWT, YXL, FS, PS, and TK are affiliated with the Centre for Digital Health Interventions, a joint initiative of the Department of Management, Technology, and Economics at ETH Zurich and the Institute of Technology Management at the University of St. Gallen, which is funded in part by the Swiss health insurer CSS. EF and TK are also cofounders of Pathmate Technologies, a university spin-off company that creates and delivers digital clinical pathways. However, Pathmate Technologies was not involved in this study. NCJ and Dartmouth College own a depression and anxiety app named Mood Triggers. However, owning Mood Triggers is not a financial conflict of interest, given that Mood Triggers is not intended to be revenue generating; rather, it is used to deliver and evaluate no-cost scalable treatment treatments using just-in-time adaptive interventions. BK does not declare any competing interests.
