Introduction to the report:
Online medical platforms offer users a variety of interventions to help promote personal health. Because users often lack sufficient engagement experience, they often have difficulty evaluating each intervention option, which is detrimental to their continued engagement. Analyzing individual engagement behaviors, we found that even individuals can dynamically learn about intervention effects, but they may not always perform well because of the potentially high noise levels involved in the engagement experience. This has prompted platforms to design and develop various services to better adapt healthcare interventions to the individual needs of users.
