TL;DR: The findings suggest that frequent notifications may encourage greater exposure to intervention content without deterring engagement, but adaptive tailoring of notification timing does not always enhance their use.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that smartphones have the potential to improve individuals’ engagement with their health-related goals when used as a supplement to an existing online intervention.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose that the inclusion of themes will enrich the resulting narrative and explore how a prototype thematic system might be integrated with existing methods of narrative generation, revealing that integration at the generation of story elements is important to avoid constraints on desired themes, that the detailed characters fundamental to character centric narrative generation make integration difficult and that integration must be done carefully to avoid damaging the resulting narratives.

TL;DR: It is argued that location aware narrative systems tend to follow three patterns (canyons, deltas and plains) and that it is possible to represent all of these patterns in a conceptual sculptural hypertext model, and a prototype which implements the model to create interactive, location aware narratives, using all three patterns.

TL;DR: This study suggests that the digital platform used to deliver an intervention and specific design choices (e.g. navigation, length and volume of content) may be associated with differences in how the intervention content is used.
