Exploring Reinforcement Learning for Fluid Transitions Between Clinical Mental Healthcare and Everyday Wellness Support
Researchers deployed a reinforcement learning-based contextual bandit system to dynamically deliver mental healthcare and wellness interventions as a unified care journey. A four-week study (N=38) revealed that RL-optimized intervention sequences showed delayed benefits post-intervention and that users with higher engagement in RL-generated prompts sustained motivation better than those on fixed interventions, raising critical questions about pacing and intensity in blended clinical-wellness digital health systems.
