Since the launch of the SyMptOMS-JIT project (Maximizing the efficacy of in vivo exposure therapy using smartphone-assisted just-in-time adaptive intervention for anxiety disorder) in September 2023, we have been working on preparing and updating the tools needed to develop the randomized control trial planned for 2025 and most likely part of 2026. 2024 has been a year of internal discussion and testing of tools, to add necessary functionality and ensure that tools are error-proof and work as expected. However, 2024 has also been a year full of outreach activities. Below we summarize the most relevant activities.

IX Research Conference of the Faculty of Health Sciences at the Universitat Jaume I ( IX Jornadas de Investigación de la Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud). On April 24-25, 2024, Iratxe presented the project during this local event and her talk was awarded for the best research work in the oral communication modality of Postgraduate studies. An extended version of this talk/poster will be published in the UJI’s health journal Àgora de Salut in 2025.
