Micro-Randomized Trials and Mobile Health

Micro-randomized trials are trials in which individuals are randomized 100s or 1000s of times over the course of the study. The goal of these trials is to assess the impact of momentary interventions (e.g., interventions that are intended to impact behavior over small time intervals). A fast-growing area of mHealth concerns the use of mobile devices for collecting real-time data, processing this data, and providing momentary interventions. We discuss the design and analysis of these types of trials.
