Contextualizing Space and Time for GeoAI JITAIs (Just-in-Time Adaptive Interventions)

The success of Just-in-Time Adaptive Interventions (JITAIs) is contingent on the application's ability to understand, predict, and intervene upon the health behavior of interest. Advances in mobile technologies and wearable sensors are presenting further opportunities for "in the moment" intervention, however, integration of spatial and complex temporal concepts have been minimal in JITAIs to date. Here we share thoughts on how health behaviors can be contextualized in space and time with the purpose of predicting health behaviors through the use of GeoAI JITAI models, and highlight future challenges that need to be addressed.
