4.2. Future Directions
A central aim of this study was to assess whether SM/Vs with co-occurring psychological conditions would find SwapMyMood acceptable and useful. While most experimental group participants rated the app highly on the SUS, one participant did not. Participant feedback will be considered in refinements to the current version of the SwapMyMood app, which is aimed at improving usability and enhancing design features.These data will also be used to inform version 3.0 development, to incorporate machine learning and artificial intelligence to support context awareness and predictive modeling to anticipate user needs to utilize problem-solving and emotion regulation tools. These features and functions will enhance support for users by delivering timely prompts, reminders and engagement supports, while minimizing risk of over-communication with the user. Additional enhancements will offer opportunity for clinical providers outside of the research team to access user data in the admin portal to support remote monitoring, care provision, and independent research studies. Future research will be conducted in larger controlled trials with a more racially, ethnically, and demographically diverse cohort to ensure replicability of present results.
