Abstract

Adolescents have shown significantly higher rates of mental health problems than the general public. Research has found the self-regulation is vital in preventing psychopathology. Further, the involvement of digital technology as one health support form is recognized as a promising alternative, especially for this group age. Thus, this study is aimed to develop a self-regulation based mobile application named as SMILE (Self-Monitoring Interactive Learning Evaluation). This paper will present the development process of the various component of the SMILE. This application uses several features like real-time location awareness, online mood check, emotional graphics which will determine tasks that must be done by individuals for 30 days. In the first phase, this application was tested on 255 adolescents (M = 16) with 56 percent is a woman. The initial evaluation results were described in one-on-one user testing. Thus, as a monitoring process, the users could track daily emotional conditions and perceived lists of suggested activities. The results suggest that SMILE has the potential to attract adolescents. However, further work is needed to ensure that users remain engaged with the program. Besides, online counseling features can be added, such as the buddy chat feature with a psychologist.
