A method for determining a user's stress level is performed by a smartphone app. Touch and motion feature values are generated, the feature values are weighted by regression parameters, and a stress score is generated based on the weighted touch and motion feature values. The touch feature values indicate how the user's finger moves over the smartphone and are generated from touch data points including X positions, Y positions and associated touch timestamp values. The motion feature values indicate movement of the smartphone and are generated from motion data points including X movements, Y movements, Z movements and associated motion timestamp values. The regression parameters are generated using touch and motion data identified by other users as being acquired while those other users were experiencing various perceived levels of stress. The app indicates to the user whether the stress score is higher or lower than a previously generated stress score.

A method for administering an exposure treatment of a cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) uses a mobile app and a server application. A user state of a patient undergoing a first step of the CBT based on the patient's condition during the first step is detected by sensors of the patient's smartphone. A situational state of the patient's surroundings during the first step is detected by the smartphone sensors. The mobile app determines whether the patient has made progress performing the first step. A user prompt is generated based on the user state and situational state. A next step of the CBT is configured based on the user state and situational state. The characteristics of the user prompt are generated using machine learning based on past task completions by the patient and other users so as to increase the likelihood that the patient will complete the next step of the CBT.
