To improve understanding and detection of PIU, we designed a comprehensive machine learning pipeline that combines detailed preprocessing, feature extraction, modeling, and performance validation strategies. Systematic evaluations demonstrate that model performance is significantly improved by addressing missing values and data imbalance. In particular, we identified key predictive features such as physiological indicators, physical activity, sleep quality, and Internet usage patterns, and clearly elucidated the differences in the positive or negative impact of these key features on PIU detection at different severity levels.

This raises a crucial question: Can we rely on these systems to deliver care that is both ethical and effective? In attempts to regulate and ensure the safe usage of AI-powered tools, calls to trustworthy AI systems have become central. However, the use of terms such as “trust” and “trustworthiness” risks increasing anthropomorphization of AI systems, attaching human moral activities, such as trust, to artificial systems. In this article, we propose that terms such as “trustworthiness” be used with caution regarding AI and that when used, they should reflect an AI system's ability to consistently demonstrate measurable adherence to ethical principles, such as respect for human autonomy, nonmaleficence, fairness, and transparency. On this approach, trustworthy and ethical AI has the possibility of becoming a tangible goal rather than wishful thinking.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48615,"journal":{"name":"Internet Interventions-The Application of Information Technology in Mental and Behavioural Health","volume":"41 ","pages":"Article 100844"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144262874","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of a mobile dCBT-I intervention, “SleepQ,” in a routine clinical setting. This study is a multicenter, two-arm, open-label, randomized controlled trial comparing a mobile dCBT-I intervention to a waitlist control group. A total of 120 adults with chronic insomnia will be recruited from six clinics in South Korea. Participants will be randomly assigned (1:1) to either the intervention group receiving 6 weeks of dCBT-I or the control group, which will gain access to the intervention after the posttreatment assessment. The primary outcome is the Insomnia Severity Index score change from baseline to 6 weeks post-randomization. Secondary outcomes include dysfunctional sleep beliefs, daytime sleepiness, depressive and anxiety symptoms, quality of life, and work productivity. Exploratory outcomes include adherence, usability, app satisfaction, and sleep parameters from the integrated sleep diary. In the intervention group, follow-up assessments will be conducted 3- and 6-months post-randomization to evaluate long-term effects. This trial will evaluate the effectiveness of mobile dCBT-I for chronic insomnia within routine clinical care.
