Many studies have used Digital Phenotyping of Mental Health (DPMH) to complement classic methods of mental health assessment and monitoring. This research area proposes innovative methods that perform multimodal sensing of multiple situations of interest (e.g., sleep, physical activity, mobility) to health professionals. In this paper, we present a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) to recognize, characterize and analyze the state of the art on DPMH using multimodal sensing of multiple situations of interest to professionals. We searched for studies in six digital libraries, which resulted in 1865 retrieved published papers. Next, we performed a systematic process of selecting studies based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, which selected 59 studies for the data extraction phase. First, based on the analysis of the extracted data, we describe an overview of this field, then presenting characteristics of the selected studies, the main mental health topics targeted, the physical and virtual sensors used, and the identified situations of interest. Next, we outline answers to research questions, describing the context data sources used to detect situations, the DPMH workflow used for multimodal sensing of situations, and the application of DPMH solutions in the mental health assessment and monitoring process. In addition, we recognize trends presented by DPMH studies, such as the design of solutions for high-level information recognition, association of features with mental states/disorders, classification of mental states/disorders, and prediction of mental states/disorders. We also recognize the main open issues in this research area. Based on the results of this SLR, we conclude that despite the potential and continuous evolution for using these solutions as medical decision support tools, this research area needs more work to overcome technology and methodological rigor issues to adopt proposed solutions in real clinical settings.

Designing effective theory-driven digital behaviour change interventions (DBCI) is a challenging task. To ease the design process, and assist with knowledge sharing and evaluation of the DBCI, we propose the SATO (IDEAS expAnded wiTh BCIO) design workflow based on the IDEAS (Integrate, Design, Assess, and Share) framework and aligned with the Behaviour Change Intervention Ontology (BCIO). BCIO is a structural representation of the knowledge in behaviour change domain supporting evaluation of behaviour change interventions (BCIs) but it is not straightforward to utilise it during DBCI design. IDEAS (Integrate, Design, Assess, and Share) framework guides multi-disciplinary teams through the mobile health (mHealth) application development life-cycle but it is not aligned with BCIO entities. SATO couples BCIO entities with workflow steps and extends IDEAS Integrate stage with consideration of customisation and personalisation. We provide a checklist of the activities that should be performed during intervention planning with concrete examples and a tutorial accompanied with case studies from the Cancer Better Life Experience (CAPABLE) European project. In the process of creating this workflow, we found the necessity to extend the BCIO to support the scenarios of multiple clinical goals in the same application. To ensure the SATO steps are easy to follow for the incomers to the field, we performed a preliminary evaluation of the workflow with two knowledge engineers, working on novel mHealth app design tasks.
