摘要

Personalized data-driven interventions for depression are much needed. Here, we leveraged N-of-1 machine learning (ML) to optimally target behavioral lifestyle interventions for depression. 50 individuals with mild-to-moderate depression enrolled in the single-arm, open-label Personalized Mood Augmentation (PerMA) pilot clinical trial (NCT05662254). Participants completed a two-week digital monitoring phase using smartphone-based ecological momentary assessments (EMAs, 4×/day) plus smartwatch tracking of mood and lifestyle factors (sleep/exercise/diet/social connection). Personalized ML models were generated from these data to identify lifestyle factors most predictive of individual mood, and results were translated to individualized mood augmentation plans (iMAPs) implemented by participants for six weeks with once-a-week health coach guidance. Intervention completers (n = 40) showed significant reduction in depression symptoms (primary outcome self-rated PHQ9 −3.5 ± 3.8, Cohen’s d = −0.89, CI [−1.25 −0.53], p < 0.001; clinician-rated HDRS −7.2 ± 6.8, d = −1.03, CI [−1.41 −0.65], p < 1E-6) with benefits sustained up to 12-week follow-up. Co-morbid anxiety was also significantly reduced (GAD7: d = −0.85, CI [−1.2, −0.49], p < 0.001) and quality of life improved (d = 0.68, CI [0.33, 1.02], p < 0.001). Additionally, objective cognitive measures impacted in depression including selective attention (d = 0.51, CI [0.18, 0.84], p < 0.001), interference processing (d = 0.53, CI [0.2, 0.85], p < 0.01) and working memory (d = 0.66, CI [0.31, 0.99], p < 0.001) showed significant enhancement. EMA tracking confirmed that improvement in depressed mood was specifically predicted by improvement in individually targeted lifestyles (β = 0.4 ± 0.09, p < 0.0005). Finally, decision algorithms and a large-language-model (LLM) could match human coach-led iMAP assignment with up to 95% accuracy. The PerMA trial presents a personalized lifestyle intervention approach for depression and merits scale-up and RCT testing to establish clinical efficacy. PERMA was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov under registry number NCT05662254.
