5: While limitations in resources have traditionally constrained clinicians in treatment delivery, recent technological advances offer opportunities to extend psychological interventions beyond the therapy room in flexible and cost-effective ways.
4: This highlights the need for alternative approaches to deliver psychological interventions.
3: Treatments are typically delivered in controlled therapy settings for one hour per week during an average of 112 waking hours, making it challenging for some patients to transfer skills learned in therapy to real-world contexts where they are most needed.
2: Beyond accessibility challenges, many do not benefit from treatments. Factors underlying nonresponse are multitudinous. Two examples of such factors include delays in intervention delivery after an occurred challenge & a detachment of the therapy setting from daily life where challenges occur.
1: While the demand for psychological treatments is high, only a small percentage of those in need receive treatment. This suggests that the current dominant mode of treatment delivery, individual therapy, is unlikely to meet the needs for psychological care.

9 | To conclude: These results suggest symptom dynamics can serve as a dimension for clinical characterisation that can differentiate between the psychopathological expression of patients with the same diagnosis and severity.
8 | The supplementary simulation study revealed our method’s average false detection of individual differences to be 2.22%, substantially below our obtained estimate, highlighting the findings to be robust against false positive conclusions.
